Question 1

How does AppRanks rank the free Google Workspace Marketplace apps?

Accepted Answer

This list ranks the top 15 Google Workspace Marketplace apps with a $0 pricing tier — meaning the full feature set is available without a payment method. AppRanks pulls pricing tier data daily from each app's marketplace listing, then filters by the explicit "free plan available" flag or a $0 starting price. The ranking within this filtered set uses a Bayesian-ish blend of average rating × natural log of review count, which surfaces apps that are both well-reviewed AND have an established user base. Free here means no card required at install time; in-app upsells are common, but the published free tier carries the entry-level functionality. AppRanks does not normalize prices across regional currency variants — the $0 baseline is what the merchant sees in the United States Shopify locale, which matches Shopify's own canonical pricing field. Apps that switch from free to paid (or vice versa) are reflected in the next 24-hour refresh cycle, so the list stays accurate within one day of a tier change.

Question 2

How often is the free Google Workspace Marketplace apps list updated?

Accepted Answer

AppRanks refreshes this list every 24 hours from the canonical Google Workspace Marketplace marketplace listing. Apps that meet the "free" filter at refresh time enter the list; apps that fall out of the filter (e.g., a Built-for-Shopify badge revocation, a free→paid pricing change, or removal from the marketplace) drop off in the next nightly snapshot. Position changes within the list reflect real metric changes, not editorial weighting — AppRanks does not promote or demote based on advertiser status.

Question 3

Does AppRanks accept payment to influence this free apps ranking?

Accepted Answer

No. AppRanks does not accept payment, sponsorship, or any commercial relationship that would influence ranking, list inclusion, or the methodology behind the curation. Subscription revenue funds dashboard access for tracked-app monitoring; it does not buy influence over public surfaces. Errors can be reported to the corrections inbox documented on the About page; corrections are investigated within one refresh cycle.
