What’s actually slowing this PC down?
Pick the symptom - the matching free tool is one click away.
Choose a Google Workspace add-on by matching it to a specific task, then checking its requested access, developer terms, full cost, and compatibility with your account and organization. A Marketplace listing helps you discover apps; it is not a guarantee that an app is suitable or safe for your use.
Start with the task and the Google app you use
Write down the job you need done—such as collecting form responses, automating a Sheets workflow, or adding a feature to Gmail—and identify the Workspace app where you need it. Search the Google Workspace Marketplace for that task, then use the listing and the Marketplace’s “Works with” filter to confirm the add-on supports the right Google app.

Before authorizing an app, read the OAuth consent screen. It summarizes the permissions requested and, for many apps, lets you select individual permissions. The Marketplace listing’s Permissions tab provides more detail about the data the app can access and the actions it can take. Ask whether each permission is needed for the advertised workflow; broad access deserves a clear explanation from the developer.

Google reviews public Marketplace apps against publishing requirements, program policies, brand verification, and applicable API terms and user-data policies. Apps requesting sensitive scopes must pass OAuth verification, while apps requesting restricted scopes must pass a security assessment that is renewed annually. These checks are meaningful signals, but they do not replace your own review: Google says users remain responsible for installing and using public Marketplace apps. Google does not review internal apps created for an organization.
A security badge on a listing indicates an independent security assessment. Treat it as one part of your decision alongside the developer’s identity, privacy terms, support information, and requested access—not as a blanket guarantee.
Read the developer’s privacy and support terms
Open the listing’s privacy policy, terms, and support links. Determine whether the add-on sends or copies Workspace data to the developer’s systems, what data it retains and for how long, and whether it can modify or delete your data. If those details are unclear, ask the developer before connecting a work or school account.
Check who operates the product and how you can get help. Google says third-party app warranties and support come from the app developer, not Google Workspace Support. That distinction matters if the app stops working, changes its data practices, or becomes unavailable to your organization.
Work out the real cost before relying on an app
The Marketplace’s “Free of charge” filter does not necessarily mean every feature is free: a listing may include paid features or a free trial. Developers set whether an app is listed as paid, receive payments directly, and Google says it does not verify Marketplace pricing accuracy. There is no universal price for Workspace add-ons, so check the live listing and the developer’s current terms.
Before signing up or building a workflow around the app, confirm which features are included, any usage or account limits, when a trial converts to paid service, how often charges recur, and how to cancel. If your organization will pay, confirm the billing and renewal terms with the person responsible for the account.

Confirm it will work with your account and organization
Compatibility involves more than the Google app named on a listing. Check the “Works with” information, whether the app is available in your region, whether installation requires an administrator, and whether your Workspace subscription supports the feature. Google notes, for example, that Classroom add-ons require a Google Workspace for Education subscription. Work and school users should ask their administrator about policy before buying or making an add-on part of a routine.
Administrators can install Marketplace apps for everyone or for selected groups and organizational units. Google says changes can take up to 24 hours to apply, though they typically take less. An administrator may also restrict an app or revoke its access later, so consider what happens to the workflow if that occurs.

In the Admin console, API controls let administrators inspect app details, requested OAuth scopes, and users, then choose an access setting. Google describes four options:
- Trusted: can allow access to all Workspace services, including restricted services.
- Limited: allows access to unrestricted services.
- Specific Google data: limits access to configured scopes.
- Blocked: prevents access to Google data.
Restricting a service can stop untrusted installed apps and revoke tokens, according to Google. Test the chosen controls against the organization’s actual workflow before applying them broadly. For deployment guidance, see Google’s instructions for installing Marketplace apps for users and its overview of controlling access to apps.
A practical comparison checklist
For each candidate, record the same details so that a familiar brand or attractive price does not obscure a poor fit:

- Workflow fit: Does it do the specific job you need in the Workspace app you use?
- Data access: Which scopes and actions does it request, and are they proportionate to the task?
- Developer and data handling: Who operates it, where might your data go, and what do the privacy and retention terms say?
- Security evidence: What verification or independent assessment applies, and what questions remain for you or your administrator?
- Cost: What is included, what is limited or paid, and what are the current trial, renewal, and cancellation terms?
- Compatibility and eligibility: Does it work with the right Google app, account type, region, and subscription—and can your organization install it?
- Operations: Who installs it, supports it, and manages access if the app is later restricted or disconnected?
