What is the Snowflake Marketplace?

  • Public catalog of data products and applications
  • Accessible directly from Snowsight: no external accounts
  • Data listings use the same zero-copy sharing mechanism as secure shares
  • Any Snowflake account can discover and consume listings

Data Listings vs Native App Listings

Data listing

  • Consumer gets read access to a dataset
  • Queries data with standard SQL
  • Provider shares data

Native App listing

  • Exposes UI, stored procedures, and functions
  • Provider shares functionality
