How it works
Lifetime Forge revenue is calculated at the partner level, and it represents the total collectively earned by all of a partner’s Forge apps. You can think of lifetime Forge revenue like an account that starts tracking earnings when Forge apps are listed on the Marketplace. With the new incentive, a partner can keep 100% of revenue earned by their Runs on Atlassian apps until the balance in that account reaches $1 million.
For Forge apps that aren’t Runs on Atlassian, it’s a similar story, except the standard revenue share rate will apply to earnings between now and January 1, 2026. After January 1, partners can keep 100% of earnings from standard Forge apps until reaching $1 million in lifetime revenue.
In short, Runs on Atlassian apps get a 3 month head start.
What do partners need to do?
If you already have Runs on Atlassian apps on the Marketplace, and you’re below $1 million in lifetime Forge revenue, there’s nothing else you need to do—the incentive will be automatically applied. You should see the changes reflected on your next remittance report.
If you’re considering launching a Runs on Atlassian app in the near future, there’s still time to jumpstart your benefits. Runs on Atlassian apps launched after today can also qualify to take home 100% of earnings.
We know that achieving the Runs on Atlassian badge can require additional investment, and providing early access to this incentive reinforces our commitment to helping partners succeed on Forge. Partners can now maximize their earnings with Runs on Atlassian apps and grow their businesses faster on our platform.
FAQ
How will revenue share work if I have some Runs on Atlassian apps and some Forge apps that don’t qualify for the badge?
Runs on Atlassian apps and standard Forge apps both count toward Forge lifetime revenue from the date they are listed on the Marketplace. Today, Runs on Atlassian apps do not pay revenue share on earnings, until a partner reaches $1 million in lifetime Forge revenue. Beginning January 1, 2026, this incentive will extend to qualifying standard Forge apps as well, subject to the same conditions. Once a partner reaches $1 million in lifetime Forge revenue, the standard Forge revenue share rate will apply to both Runs on Atlassian and standard Forge apps.
When does lifetime Forge revenue start accruing?
Lifetime Forge revenue is revenue earned over the lifespan of a partner’s Forge apps, since the first Forge version of the app was listed on the Marketplace. To meet the definition of a Forge app, the app must 1) contain no Connect modules, 2) use OAuth authentication, and 3) use Forge UI. Only apps meeting all of these requirements are counted toward Forge lifetime revenue. Forge lifetime revenue does not reset to 0 when the incentive begins.
Where can I find out more about qualifying for Runs on Atlassian?
Runs on Atlassian eligibility requirements are listed in the developer documentation. Developers can run the forge eligibility CLI command to check compliance.
