What Is AWS Marketplace & Why Software Vendors Should List Their Products?

As cloud adoption accelerates, Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) are looking for smarter ways to scale globally, reduce sales friction, and reach enterprise buyers faster. One of the most powerful channels enabling this growth is the AWS Marketplace — a trusted digital catalog that helps customers easily find, purchase, and deploy third-party software directly within the AWS ecosystem.

What Is AWS Marketplace?

AWS Marketplace is a curated platform offering thousands of software products across categories like Security, Networking, Data, AI/ML, DevOps, and more. It provides:

  • Multiple delivery models (AMI, SaaS, Containers, Data Products, Professional Services)
  • Flexible pricing options (hourly, monthly, annual, consumption-based)
  • Faster procurement with standardized contracts
  • Simplified billing directly through AWS

It’s built for vendors who want global reach without operational complexity — and for customers who want faster, trusted software adoption.

Why Software Vendors Should List Their Products

1. Access to Millions of AWS Customers

Listing on AWS Marketplace opens doors to startups, SMBs, enterprises, and government buyers worldwide — all of whom already trust AWS for procurement.

2. Faster Sales Cycles

AWS handles invoices, contracts, and billing, helping vendors close deals faster with reduced procurement friction.

3. Co-Sell Opportunities With AWS

ISVs gain access to AWS co-sell programs, partner incentives, and field engagement—boosting lead generation and deal acceleration.

4. Build Trust & Credibility

Being listed on AWS Marketplace increases product credibility due to AWS’s strong security, compliance, and vetting standards.

5. Flexible Pricing & Trials

Vendors can offer free trials, multiple pricing tiers, and private offers, helping them win more diverse customers.

6. Simplified Billing & Global Reach

No need to manage tax, invoicing, or regional billing systems — AWS handles it, enabling vendors to scale globally.

7. Support for All SaaS Deployment Models

AWS Marketplace now supports SaaS hosted anywhere — on-prem, hybrid, multi-cloud, or AWS — giving ISVs more flexibility.

Challenges Vendors Should Plan For

  • Preparing the product for AWS Foundational Technical Review (FTR)
  • Creating strong listing content, documentation, and architecture diagrams
  • Ensuring customer support readiness
  • Understanding marketplace revenue share and pricing strategy

These are manageable challenges — especially with the right partner.
