Which Microsoft Teams apps make real money now?

Can we actually tell which Microsoft Teams apps make the most money?

Microsoft Teams app revenue is surprisingly hard to see, so any clean “top-grossing Teams apps” ranking would be mostly made up.

Microsoft does not publish revenue by Teams app, and most vendors do not break it out either. A company can discover software through Teams, buy it directly from the vendor, purchase it through Microsoft Marketplace, or already have a company-wide SaaS license before anyone installs the Teams integration. Microsoft also allows apps to use existing licenses rather than forcing every purchase through its store.

That makes company revenue useful only when we interpret it carefully. Miro has around $600 million in ARR, but nobody outside Miro can say how much came from Microsoft Teams. Atlassian has $6.606 billion in subscription ARR, but Jira's Teams app accounts for only an unknown fraction of that. The same problem applies to monday.com and Docusign.

We therefore looked for three different levels of evidence: disclosed revenue or ARR, signs that companies genuinely pay for the product, and evidence that Teams or Microsoft 365 sits close to the core workflow rather than functioning as a minor notification integration.

That gives us a much more defensible answer than treating Marketplace reviews, installs or total company revenue as Teams revenue.

Is Microsoft Teams still a good place to sell paid software today?

Yes. Teams currently gives B2B software companies an unusually complete route from product discovery to enterprise procurement.

A Teams developer can attach a paid SaaS offer, charge per user or at a flat rate, bill monthly or annually, run trials and let Microsoft collect payment. Microsoft currently keeps a 3% Marketplace fee, meaning a $100 software charge produces a $97 publisher payout before the vendor's own costs.

The buying infrastructure around that fee matters even more. Microsoft Marketplace supports invoicing, administrator purchasing and private enterprise offers with negotiated pricing. For qualifying products, Marketplace purchases can also count toward a customer's existing Microsoft cloud spending commitment.

This makes Teams particularly useful when the buyer is a company rather than an individual. A $20 consumer utility still has to fight for attention one user at a time. A $30,000 workflow product may only need one department head and an IT team to approve it.

The Teams opportunity is strongest when Microsoft shortens the path into an enterprise account. Microsoft provides the identity, administration, billing and workplace surface; the app still has to solve something worth paying for.

Which Microsoft Teams apps are attached to $100 million-plus software businesses?

Several major Teams apps sit on top of software businesses doing well above $100 million a year, although Teams itself accounts for an undisclosed share of those sales.

Miro is one of the freshest examples. When Bending Spoons agreed to acquire Miro recently for $1.355 billion in enterprise value, it disclosed that Miro had reached around $600 million in ARR, with nearly 90% coming from business and enterprise customers. More than 250,000 organizations use Miro.

Workvivo crossed another useful threshold lately. Zoom disclosed that its employee-experience subsidiary had passed $100 million in ARR. Workvivo integrates with Microsoft Teams while selling a broader employee communications and intranet product.

Atlassian finished its latest fiscal year with $6.606 billion in subscription ARR, up 23%, while Jira remains available directly inside Teams. Docusign reported almost $3.3 billion in ARR. monday.com generated $1.232 billion of revenue in 2025.

Those figures should not be labeled “Teams revenue.” They prove something narrower and more useful: enterprise customers already spend very large amounts on software that stays connected to Teams because the actual work still lives in another system.

Microsoft Teams app	Commercial scale behind the product	What the paid product owns
Jira	Atlassian: $6.606B subscription ARR	Projects, issues, service workflows
Docusign	Nearly $3.3B ARR	Agreements and signatures
monday.com	$1.232B annual revenue	Work management and business workflows
Miro	Around $600M ARR	Visual collaboration and canvases
Workvivo	More than $100M ARR	Employee communications and intranet

Can a small Microsoft Teams app actually reach millions in ARR?

Yes. Vacation Tracker is one of the clearest public examples of a relatively small workplace app reaching meaningful SaaS revenue.

Vacation Tracker's founders disclosed that the bootstrapped company had reached $3 million in ARR. The product started around Slack, later expanded into Microsoft Teams and now also supports Google Workspace and other surfaces. Its Microsoft Marketplace listing says more than 2,000 companies use the software.

This is much closer to the business many independent developers imagine when they ask whether Teams apps make money. Vacation Tracker did not need hundreds of millions of users or a giant venture round. It took a repetitive company problem—PTO requests, leave balances, approvals, calendars and policies—and placed it inside the software employees already had open.

Microsoft Teams also became a real growth wave for the company after it added the integration. Today employees can request leave and managers can approve it through Teams, while the underlying product handles quotas, location-specific policies, accruals and reporting.

At $3 million ARR, Vacation Tracker is already far beyond “nice little bot” territory. It shows that a narrow Teams workflow can support a proper software company when the problem repeats constantly and has an obvious business owner.

Is Decisions making real money from Microsoft Teams meetings?

Decisions looks like a genuine Teams-native software business today, even though the company still keeps its revenue private.

The latest company site says Decisions is trusted by more than 5,000 organizations and recorded over 30,000 installs in the previous month. Microsoft Marketplace shows more than 9,000 ratings for the app. Those numbers are unusually strong for a specialist business application rather than a broad horizontal SaaS brand.

Its history also gives us a useful baseline. When Decisions raised $5 million in 2021, it reported serving more than 1,000 organizations. The current 5,000-plus figure means its disclosed organizational footprint has grown roughly fivefold since then.

More importantly, Decisions is deeply tied to Microsoft 365. Users build agendas in Teams and Outlook, run meetings inside Teams, record decisions and minutes, push tasks into Planner and use Microsoft 365 Copilot around the resulting meeting information.

That depth makes Decisions more interesting than another meeting widget. The company has spent years owning the layer around formal meetings—preparation, agendas, voting, records, tasks and follow-through—while Microsoft owns the call itself.

We still cannot responsibly attach an ARR number to Decisions. The current adoption data nevertheless makes it one of the stronger examples of a substantial independent company built directly around Teams and Microsoft 365.

Is Polly actually a paid Teams business or just a popular polling bot?

Polly has clearly become a commercial workplace-software product, although its revenue remains private.

Polly currently says more than 200,000 companies use the product across Teams, Slack, Zoom and other workplace tools. Its enterprise package includes unlimited usage, administrative controls, APIs and webhooks, IP restrictions, data controls and dedicated customer support.

Companies can start with a simple poll, then move into pulse surveys, stand-ups, Q&A, suggestion boxes, team workflows and company-wide feedback. The paid layer increasingly resembles an employee-engagement product rather than a voting button.

Polly also shows why the best workplace apps often expand beyond one platform. Teams can bring Polly into the daily flow of work without forcing the entire business to depend on Microsoft distribution. The same product can follow customers into Slack, presentations and meetings elsewhere.

What we cannot establish is how much of Polly's 200,000-company footprint pays, or what ARR that produces. So Polly belongs in the “clearly monetized, financial scale undisclosed” group rather than beside companies with verified $100 million revenue figures.

Are AI meeting assistants still a good Microsoft Teams business now?

AI meeting assistants still have plenty of demand, but generic Teams transcription has become a much tougher business than it was two years ago.

Fireflies.ai shows why founders rushed into the category. Its Teams app records meetings, transcribes them and sends notes back into Teams, and Microsoft Marketplace says Fireflies has been used across tens of thousands of companies.

Microsoft has since moved aggressively into the same territory. Teams Premium and Microsoft Copilot can now produce intelligent recaps, AI notes, follow-up tasks, customized summaries and personalized meeting highlights. Microsoft has also added narrated video recaps and audio-style recaps across multiple meetings.

A new product whose pitch ends at “we record the Teams call and summarize it” is sitting directly in Microsoft's product path.

The better opportunities start after the summary. A sales product can turn conversations into CRM updates and coaching. A recruiting product can structure interview evidence. A healthcare or legal product can handle specialized documentation. A customer-success product can detect risk across hundreds of calls.

Fireflies itself has moved in that broader direction. The category still makes money, but the part Microsoft can bundle cheaply is getting smaller very quickly.

Can a Microsoft Teams polling app become a $60 million business?

Yes. Mentimeter shows that workplace polling and audience interaction can grow into a surprisingly large software company.

Mentimeter generated SEK 598 million of revenue in 2025, up from SEK 536 million the year before, while year-end ARR reached SEK 614 million. That puts ARR at roughly $60 million-plus in dollar terms. The company also returned to positive earnings after several loss-making years.

The longer trajectory is more interesting than the latest number. Revenue went from roughly SEK 235 million in 2021 to SEK 598 million in 2025, an increase of about 2.5 times in four years. This was not a one-year remote-work spike.

Mentimeter's Teams app lets users run live polls, word clouds, Q&A and quizzes directly inside Teams meetings. Yet companies are paying for the broader system around those interactions: reusable presentations, analytics, audience scale, administration, security and enterprise deployment.

Microsoft can easily provide a basic poll. Reproducing an entire presentation and participation workflow is a different job.

That explains how an apparently small feature category grew into hundreds of millions of Swedish kronor in annual sales.

Mentimeter metric	2021	2025
Revenue	~SEK 235M	~SEK 598M
Revenue growth over period	—	~2.5x
Year-end ARR	—	SEK 614M
Profit after financial items	Loss	Positive

Is Miro still making serious money from workplace collaboration?

Yes. Miro currently has around $600 million in ARR, even after the extraordinary valuations of the remote-work boom disappeared.

The latest hard number arrived through Bending Spoons' agreement to acquire Miro. The buyer disclosed around $600 million in ARR, nearly 90% from business and enterprise customers, across more than 250,000 organizations.

The acquisition price adds useful context. Bending Spoons agreed to pay $1.355 billion in enterprise value, roughly 2.3 times Miro's disclosed ARR. Miro had once carried a private valuation of $17.5 billion.

That gap says more about software valuations than about whether customers still pay for visual collaboration. The business continues to produce roughly six hundred million dollars of recurring annual revenue. Investors simply value that revenue far less aggressively than during the pandemic-era SaaS boom.

Miro's Teams integration lets companies bring boards into Microsoft workflows, while the actual collaborative object remains inside Miro. Conversation can happen in Teams while Miro keeps control of the canvas, templates, project history and specialized collaboration tools.

For a new founder, another generic whiteboard would be a brutal market to enter. A narrower collaborative workspace tied to a valuable professional process could still follow the same commercial logic.

Is project management the biggest money category inside Microsoft Teams?

Project and work management is one of the biggest proven revenue pools around Teams today because companies keep paying separately for structured work.

Atlassian is the clearest scale example. The company ended its latest fiscal year with $6.606 billion in subscription ARR, up 23% year over year. Jira's Teams integration brings issue creation, updates and project information into Microsoft's communication layer.

monday.com provides another useful comparison. It produced $1.232 billion of revenue in 2025 while selling work management, CRM, development and service products. Microsoft Marketplace still presents monday.com as a way to bring project-management capabilities into Microsoft 365.

The pattern also includes Asana, Smartsheet and Trello. Employees may discuss a project in Teams, but the durable record of tasks, owners, workflows, automations and project history remains elsewhere.

Teams is optimized for conversations and meetings. A project-management system is optimized for remembering what an organization has to do for months or years.

Microsoft Planner competes for part of this budget, of course. Yet Atlassian and monday.com's scale shows that many companies still want specialist systems even when they already pay Microsoft for collaboration software.

Why do document and e-signature apps make so much money around Teams?

Document and agreement apps monetize well because they sit directly beside business transactions that companies already budget for.

Docusign is the extreme example. Its latest full-year figures showed $3.2 billion in revenue and nearly $3.3 billion in ARR. The Teams integration lets users send agreements, work with templates and follow signature activity without leaving Microsoft's environment.

Adobe follows similar logic with Acrobat and Acrobat Sign. The software sits beside PDF workflows, approvals and signatures that companies already regard as necessary business infrastructure.

This category has a built-in advantage over many collaboration utilities. A poll can be useful. A prettier meeting timer can be useful. A signed customer contract can release revenue, satisfy a compliance requirement or complete a procurement process.

That connection to a measurable business event supports much higher prices and gives the product a clearer buyer.

The same principle applies beyond documents. Apps around payroll, security approvals, regulated workflows, finance operations or customer contracts tend to have an easier path to serious revenue than tools selling a small convenience.

Is Microsoft Copilot killing independent Teams apps?

Microsoft Copilot is squeezing shallow Teams apps, while deeper workflow products can use Copilot as another interface into their data.

Meeting software shows the pressure most clearly. Teams now generates summaries, tasks, notes and personalized recaps. Copilot can answer questions over a meeting transcript. Microsoft has recently added custom recap formats, video recaps and multi-meeting audio recaps.

Those additions remove a lot of room for independent products that only repackage information Microsoft already has.

Apps such as Jira, Decisions and Miro have a better position because they own information outside the Teams conversation. Jira has issues and workflow history. Decisions has formal agendas, decisions and meeting records. Miro has boards and visual project context.

Copilot can become another way to query those systems instead of replacing them.

As Microsoft's AI gets better at reading chats, meetings and files, charging simply to summarize Microsoft-owned information will get harder. Charging to manage a specialized dataset or execute a specialized workflow still gives the vendor something Microsoft would have to rebuild from scratch.

What do the Microsoft Teams apps making money have in common?

The strongest Teams businesses repeatedly own an important workflow or dataset that continues after the Teams message or meeting ends.

Vacation Tracker owns leave balances, policies and approvals. Decisions owns agendas, meeting records and follow-up. Jira owns issues and project workflows. Miro owns boards. Docusign owns agreements. Workvivo owns employee communication content. Mentimeter owns reusable presentation and audience-engagement workflows.

The differences between those companies are huge, yet the commercial pattern is remarkably consistent.

Frequency helps when the task happens every day or every week. Business importance can compensate when the workflow happens less often. Signing a contract may be infrequent for one employee, but its economic value is high. A board meeting might happen monthly, while the decisions and records from it can matter for years.

The weaker end of the Teams market usually has neither advantage. A decorative widget or convenience feature used twice a month has limited pricing power, especially when Microsoft can copy it or bundle something similar.

A useful test for a new Teams app is simple: after Microsoft handles the chat, meeting and identity layer, does the third-party app still own something the company needs to keep?

Type of Teams app	Why customers keep paying	Pressure from Microsoft
Project/workflow software	Owns persistent operational data	Moderate
Agreements and documents	Tied to transactions and compliance	Low to moderate
Meeting governance	Owns formal preparation and decisions	Moderate
Employee communications	Owns organization-wide content and workflows	Moderate
Specialized AI workflow	Acts on domain-specific data	Depends on depth
Generic meeting summary	Repackages Teams data	Very high
Simple utility	Convenience	Very high

Which Microsoft Teams app niches look strongest for making money now?

The best Teams opportunities today are specialized business workflows where Microsoft improves distribution without absorbing the whole product.

Project and operational workflow software has the strongest large-company proof. Atlassian and monday.com show that companies maintain big external software budgets even when Microsoft 365 already covers communication.

Meeting governance also looks healthier than generic meeting transcription. Decisions has grown from more than 1,000 organizations in 2021 to more than 5,000 today, while Microsoft keeps making basic recap features easier to get. The value is shifting toward structured decisions, compliance, preparation and execution.

HR micro-workflows deserve more attention than their size suggests. Vacation Tracker reached $3 million ARR by solving one narrow administrative problem and distributing it through the communication tools employees already use.

Employee communication has now produced a $100 million-plus ARR specialist in Workvivo. Audience engagement produced more than SEK 600 million of ARR at Mentimeter. Visual collaboration produced around $600 million ARR at Miro.

The common thread is depth rather than novelty. A Teams app becomes much easier to sell when it replaces a spreadsheet, a manual process, a compliance headache or another piece of paid software.

Which Microsoft Teams apps make real money now?

Yes, Microsoft Teams apps make real money today, ranging from a few million dollars of ARR for focused independent products to hundreds of millions for larger workplace-software platforms.

At the smaller and more revealing end, Vacation Tracker has disclosed $3 million ARR and more than 2,000 company customers. Decisions now says more than 5,000 organizations use its Teams-centered meeting software, although it does not disclose revenue. Polly says more than 200,000 companies use its workplace-engagement products, with paid enterprise plans layered on top.

At the next level, Mentimeter reached SEK 614 million in ARR, Workvivo passed $100 million ARR and Miro reached around $600 million ARR. Teams is only one channel for those companies, yet each proves that workflows surfaced inside Microsoft collaboration software can support sizable subscription businesses.

Then come the giant horizontal SaaS companies: monday.com at more than $1.2 billion in annual revenue, Docusign around $3.2 billion and Atlassian at $6.606 billion in subscription ARR. Their Teams integrations matter because customers want these specialist systems available where employees already communicate.

The cleanest small-company evidence is probably Vacation Tracker. The larger-company evidence becomes strongest with Mentimeter, Workvivo and Miro. The clearest warning comes from Microsoft's rapid expansion of Copilot and Teams recap: shallow features are getting bundled faster than ever.

The money in Teams today sits around software that owns a real business process—leave, agreements, projects, meetings, employee communication, audience engagement or another persistent workflow. Teams gives those products distribution and proximity to the user. The underlying workflow is what customers actually pay for.
