The flexibility of these extensions makes it easy for researchers, educators, and developers to adapt SAMSON to their specific workflows and achieve more in less time.
The Convenience of Installing Extensions
Adding a new SAMSON Extension is designed to be as intuitive as possible. Once you’ve signed in to your SAMSON Connect account, go to the Marketplace section. Explore the diverse range of extensions available, and click the Add button for the ones you wish to include in your setup. When you restart SAMSON, the software automatically downloads and installs the selected extensions. It’s that simple!
Subscription Options
Beyond the free extensions, the Marketplace also offers extensions available through subscription-based models. Want to try before you subscribe? No problem.

This risk-free approach ensures you can validate its functionalities for your specific needs.
When you are ready to subscribe, options such as monthly, yearly, or academic-specific plans are available. These plans make extensions even more accessible to researchers and educators working in the academic field.

With SAMSON Connect’s clear interface, managing your extensions is hassle-free. From your account settings, navigate to View my extensions to see a list of all the extensions you’ve added. If you want to remove a specific extension, simply hover over the ‘Added’ button, which turns into a ‘Remove’ button—click it, and the extension is gone after the next SAMSON restart.
