Ask HN: Has Anyone Monetized a Microsoft Teams App
Looking to bring an app to the Teams App store directly(a feature/app) that is currently lacking and is being requested by several hundred screaming users on their community forums. The monetization opportunity is there, but I am unaware of any prior successful app monetization on the Microsoft Teams platform. On the contrary, there are a few bootstrapped startups that were founded on Slack Appstore(looking at you standuply!). And some that make decent money for the dev:

Looking for some precedence on Teams App Store here.
- clownworldclown 5y agoI don't think Apps are successful because the UX of Teams keeps me stuck in IMs. I rarely if ever look at a Teams channel. I've only written maybe ~5 messages in a teams channel before. Everything I've ever done has been in an IM/group chat.
- weitzj 5y agoDifferent experience for me. For every JIRA ticket we do in our sprints we create a new public Teams channel and do our pairing in this channel. If people send me a DM or make group chats I stop them so we continue in a „public“ place.

- nocubicles 5y agoSame here. We do have groups for different projects and customers but I never checked them because no notifications are sent when somebody posts something there. I know they store some project related files in these chats but to me it feels similar as Sharepoint - you know there must be somthing there but impossible to find when needed.
