New Marketplace Distribution App Install Limits

Written by Hannah Seligson | Sep 22, 2025 1:30:18 PM

On September 3rd, 2025, HubSpot launched the new Developer Platform, version 2025.2, which introduced new customer install limits for marketplace distribution apps that are specifically created or migrated to the latest Developer Platform

Starting on September 22nd, 2025, apps that are created or migrated to version 2025.2 are capped at 25 installs until they are listed on the HubSpot Marketplace. Alternatively, app partners can distribute apps privately via OAuth to up to 10 customers or 100 for Solution Partners.

 

What's changing?

Partners leveraging the new Developer Platform features need to plan for these install thresholds. The change affects the app development lifecycle and the HubSpot Marketplace listing process, requiring partners to list their apps sooner in order to scale distribution.

  • Marketplace Distribution Apps
      • New apps created with the “marketplace” distribution type on the Developer Platform (or public apps migrated to it) are capped at 25 installs until they receive approval for the Marketplace listing. 
  • Private Distribution Apps
    • Partners may distribute apps privately with the “private” distribution type using OAuth.
    • Limits: 
      • 10 customers for app partners
      • 100 customers for Solution Partners

Important Note: When migrating existing legacy public apps with more than 25 installs to the new Developer Platform, the install limit will be automatically enforced. Therefore, careful strategizing and planning of the migration timing, as well as completion of necessary listing requirements, are advised if you choose to proceed.

Additional documentation is provided to help manage the distribution configuration for your app and the Marketplace listing process and requirements for your review. 

 

When is this happening?

This new limit will be enforced on new or migrated apps with the Developer platform on September 22nd, 2025. 

If you have an existing legacy public app with over 25 installs that has migrated to the new Developer Platform and are encountering errors, please submit a support request for appropriate follow-up.
