Atlassian Marketplace is the best and only place where users can explore the existing apps for Jira, Confluence and other Atlassian products. Here they can find different solutions for the needs out of default functionality of Atlassian software.

There are paid apps and free apps from proven vendors. Generally, the trial period is 30 days - this is the time when users can try the plugin in their proper environment and check whether it responds to their business needs.

Sometimes 30 days is not enough. For example, for the Enterprise customers having complex purchasing procedures or big entities having a number of people involved in the decision -making process. Not all users are aware that in such cases any trial period can be extended for 30 more days without Vendor or Marketplace approval. This is a by default option which can be executed by generating a new evaluation license key from Atlassian Marketplace.
