Without a published review base, the only fit-signal available is the developer's own documentation plus the marketplace's listing-quality audit (linked below). The free tier lets you trial the entry feature set without committing a payment method. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical Slack Marketplace listing.
