How to choose between Azure Marketplace and AppSource?
Want to know more about Azure Marketplace, AppSource, and which one is right for you? Here is a simple explanation:
Microsoft provides two distinct Marketplace storefronts that allow partners to list offers, enable trials, and transact directly with Microsoft’s customers and ecosystem: Azure Marketplace and AppSource. These storefronts allow customers to find, try, and buy applications and services that accelerate their Digital Transformation, and help publishers grow their businesses by increasing access to Microsoft’s customers and partner ecosystem.
The Marketplace storefronts are aligned to audiences and Microsoft cloud products to help customers find exactly what they need. Each storefront offers specialized publishing options, to help you maximize your publishing investment summarized by the following table:

Hi, my company ask me to build a Word Web AddIn which I tested it in on Office 2019 installed locally on the machine of my collegue by using the sidelocal approach. So I created a network shared folder where I did put the manifest and I did publish the html application on IIS reachable via https.
Now is time to deploy the addin to make it public and my asks are:
Can I use AppSource to deploy it to ? I have to pay for this ? if yes how are the cost ?
Can I use MS. Marketplace to deploy it to ? I have to pay for this ? if yes how are the cost ?
There are other ways to make the addin public to be downloaded and used in word ?
Can I create an installation program which can be downloaded from the user to install the addin ?
Last: if I have to use the marketplaces which one is better AppSOurce or Ms Marketplace ?
Thank you in advance
Best Regards
Giovanni

@gioking : See here for getting started: Deploy and publish Office Add-ins - Office Add-ins | Microsoft Learn For Office AddIns, AppSource is the only option, those can't be listed in Azure Marketplace.

Hi,
Is this still a relevant outline of the differentiation between the two marketplaces? Specifically regarding the target audience piece.
Thanks,
