Want to skip right to getting your own benefit projections? Use the Marketplace value calculator. 

You’ve heard of the benefits of Frontier Accelerate for Marketplace and how they help you build, publish, grow and differentiate. But what could those benefits actually mean for your business? 

The Microsoft Marketplace value calculator in App Advisor creates a 3-year projection based on the business data you enter to better understand the potential value of selling on  Marketplace while participating in Frontier Accelerate for Marketplace.  

Build a business case tailored to your scenario in minutes, including:  

• Frontier Accelerate for Marketplace membership options 

• Deal-based or revenue-percentage revenue structures, 

• Deal specifics like average size, totals, and percentage of growth, 

• And optional fields estimating business costs and impacts to your bottom line. 

Ditch the spreadsheets. The Marketplace value calculator helps you move beyond benefits tables to understand what Marketplace participation could mean for your bottom line.  

Calculate your own, specific projections with Frontier Accelerate for Marketplace 

Every software company has different revenue, growth, and Marketplace assumptions. A benefits table can help you understand what's available. But your numbers make it real. 

The Marketplace Value Calculator in App Advisor lets you enter your business information to produce a 3-year projection that helps you: 

• Estimate your potential Marketplace revenue, 

• Understand transaction costs alongside potential benefits, 

• Build a more specific business case for selling through Marketplace, 

• Project the value of benefits as your Marketplace performance grows, 

• Show the difference Frontier Accelerate for Marketplace Premium can make with $2K-$2.1M in Azure credits, 

• Model how Marketplace can help you reach more customers, simplify sales, and scale revenue through Microsoft’s global ecosystem. 

Instead of asking, "What benefits could we get?" you can start using these projections to ask a more specific question that drives actual business: "Based on expected growth, what would unlocking these benefits mean for us over the next 3 years?" 

What benefits are included in Frontier Accelerate for Marketplace?
