Comparing the Customer Payment Experience: Microsoft AppSource vs. Azure Marketplace
Microsoft AppSource: Audience: Primarily business users, decision-makers, and managers seeking SaaS solutions for productivity and business operations. Payment Process: Portal: Payments are made directly through the AppSource portal, integrated with the user’s Microsoft 365 or Dynamics 365 account. Payment Plans: Limited to simple monthly or annual subscription plans. Users can easily select a plan, enter billing information, and manage payments through the Microsoft 365 Admin Center. Billing: Users receive invoices via their Microsoft account, with transparent pricing shown before purchase. The straightforward subscription models make it easy for business users to manage recurring payments. Customization: There’s minimal need for customization, with AppSource focusing on ease and simplicity. Only monthly or annual options are available, and users can manage subscription renewals or cancellations through their Microsoft 365 portal. Azure Marketplace: Audience: IT professionals, developers, and large enterprises looking for technical solutions with greater control over payments and infrastructure. Payment Process: Portal: Payments are made through the Azure Portal, where users manage all subscriptions and billing under the Azure Cost Management + Billing section. Payment Plans: More flexible options, including pay-as-you-go, usage-based, and multi-year contracts (e.g., 2-year, 3-year pricing plans). Azure supports complex billing scenarios for long-term cloud solutions. Billing: Detailed billing and cost tracking through the Azure Portal. Customers can configure and monitor spending, allocate budgets, and review detailed invoices for SaaS, infrastructure, and other services. Customization: Azure Marketplace allows for more tailored payment solutions, enabling customers to mix and match SaaS and other cloud services into their payment plans. Enterprises can set up custom budgets, payment alerts, and detailed cost analysis. This tailored payment system makes AppSource ideal for business users wanting ease of use, while Azure Marketplace is suited for enterprises needing flexible, long-term payment options and detailed cost management.New on Microsoft AppSource: October 10-21, 2024

I hope it will inspire and help on your journey
I would like to share my experience with publishing transactable apps on the Microsoft commercial marketplace, the Microsoft 365 App Certification Program, Marketplace Rewards, and certified software designations. Starting with publishing our apps on to the marketplace: We have several apps that operate within the context of Microsoft 365, including apps for Outlook, Microsoft Teams, Copilot Agent, Office, and SharePoint. We have been in AppSource for many years and have customers worldwide. We developed an in-house license application to manage our customers' licenses. Before the commercial marketplace, we managed all invoicing and license management manually. Now, everything has become much easier. We have published monetized SaaS apps connected to the AppSource apps. Using the SaaS Fulfillment API, we integrated the purchasing process with our in-house license application. We have gained numerous benefits, including: Significant time savings in the invoicing and billing process, as purchasing, adding, removing, or cancelling licenses is automated and managed by Microsoft Customers appreciate the ability to manage licenses themselves, finding it easier Improved market awareness due to promotion in the marketplace And new customers are joining regularly. It is also important to mention Marketplace Rewards, which offer various benefits. For example, customer case stories can be published through Marketplace Rewards on Microsoft customer case stories. Here is a link to our latest story: Microsoft Customer Story - Design for Leisure improves efficiency 30% with iGlobe solutions and Microsoft Planner. Additionally, the Transact & Grow Incentive Campaign has provided us with financial incentives through marketplace sales, as well as Azure sponsorship credits to offset deployment costs. Considering these advantages, there is potential to make the apps CSP Ready as well: https://aka.ms/P2PeBook. Equally important is obtaining the Microsoft 365 App Certification. Certification confirms that an app solution is compatible with Microsoft technologies, compliant with cloud app security best practices, and supported by Microsoft. This is significant because: It provides certification from Microsoft, confirming app security and compliance It saves time in the sales process, as security and compliance are already verified It makes the app easier to find on AppSource, the Commercial Marketplace, and in the Teams App admin portal, where it will be listed in a special category Achieving sales in the marketplace, having customer case stories, and obtaining the Microsoft 365 App Certification provides the foundation to obtain Certified Software Designations, which come with additional benefits and opportunities for co-selling with Microsoft. Today two of our apps have achieved the Certified Software Designation for Modern Work. Soon iPlanner Pro for Teams that includes a Copilot Agent will follow as well. I share this story not to boast but to inspire and motivate others. There is nothing exceptional about us or our experience here – it can be completely replicated by leveraging the resources that Microsoft provides.Was it all very easy…. No. Is it doable? Yes!
