Our ecosystem is growing fast. You’re not just building on GitHub. You’re working more with the tools you create and integrate—and fixing bugs while you’re at it.

“2x more productive” means individuals make twice as many contributions if their organization uses any app on GitHub than if their organization does not use an app on GitHub.
150K+ developers and organizations
currently using apps and tools from GitHub Marketplace. The number of developers engaging with Marketplace apps has also grown by 62%.
A growing Marketplace helps software development stay accessible and makes space for new apps (and their developers) to shine regardless of their team size or resources. More apps also means more ways to work better. We define “engaging” as installing one or more application (free or paid) from GitHub Marketplace. Installation patterns are based on top paid and unpaid applications by installation in 2018.
Based on installation patterns, individuals using Marketplace are more likely to be interested in automating backups, while organizations are more likely to be interested in automating dependency updates.
Among developers using more than one app on Marketplace, common combinations are between continuous integration (CI) and security, code quality, and project management. Top categories, ranked by installation. Categories are based on applications available on GitHub Marketplace. Selecting a category is a requirement for listing.
