Ask HN: Anyone Selling on Intellij Marketplace?
3 comments
I wouldn’t count on making much money because you’re targeting a very niche market (people who use I JetBrains products, pay for plugins, and want whatever plugin you’re offered).
Most paid plugins I see on the market seem like Enterprise solutions which a company would convince another company to buy for its employees. Like a plugin which is required to use IntelliJ for another niche paid service.
Not sold, but I bought one paid plugin: ANSI Highlighter Pro. It’s a simple plugin which displays ANSI escapes in log files, it’s sold for something like $5/year which is 100% worth it.

There are currently ~130 paid plugins on the marketplace, if you exclude JetBrains ones. Some have a huge number of downloads but since you an try them for 30 days, I expect that only a small percentage converts to subscription.
Could you share a link to the marketplace?
There are just a few plugins but they have a good number of downloads, nothing huge, but considering that plugins seems to be sold mainly through subscription it could be an interesting side income stream.
Does anyone sell something on the marketplace, or know someone that does, and want to share their experience with it?
