AppExchange is the leading business app marketplace in the world. These apps are used for Salesforce and connect to every department and industry.

Salesforce AppExchange Consultants ensure applications are fully functional and meet customer needs.


AppExchange Product Types

Managed Package

Managed packages are maintained by app providers (ISV partners) to promote and distribute applications. These packages can be upgraded, and customers cannot see or edit the Apex code.

Unmanaged Package

Unmanaged packages are templates for distributing open-source projects. Customers can view and modify the code, but these packages cannot be upgraded once distributed.

Managed packages reduce the burden of maintenance and updates, letting businesses focus on solving real problems.

AppExchange includes hundreds of free applications as unmanaged packages, providing full access to source code for customization.
