What are the costs of hosting Jira Software plugins on the Atlassian Marketplace?

Question

I want to create a plugin for Jira software and host it on Atlassian Marketplace for use by my organization (not intended for public use). I understand that I could use Connect or Forge to create Atlassian Apps, however, I am not sure about the costs involved in hosting these apps. I would like to know if costs are only incurred for using the Atlassian Cloud instances or also for using the Marketplace platform? Are there any additional costs for hosting/invoking Forge or Connect Apps?

Additionally, I would like to know if it is possible to create a Jira software plugin without using Connect or Forge, and list it on the Marketplace (for example, a web app hosted elsewhere)?

It depends on how the plugin works as to where you host it.

You can make an app private on the marketplace - you effectively say "only show this to people coming from the 'find new apps' on Cloud domain xyz.atlassian.net"

Also, if I make a Jira plugin using Forge or Connect, can I make the plugin private for my organization's domain or do I have to make it publicly accessible?

Thanks for the reply! That really clears up a lot.

Just wondering about one more thing, if I were to create a plugin using Atlassian Connect, do I also have the option of hosting the app on an Atlassian Cloud Instance or can I only self host it on other cloud services?
