Publishing tools on CrowdField

A practical guide for builders, analysts, and domain experts who want to turn tools into products

Why you’re here

You’re likely exploring the Store, came via the Builder Exchange, or already have a tool (Excel model, script, app, etc.) and want to know if CrowdField is the right place to publish it (and if it’s worth your time)

This page explains the real process so you can decide whether to invest time.

Where are you in the journey?

Builders typically fall into one of these stages:

  1. Idea stage You have a workflow, recurring problem, or concept you’re considering productizing. You want clarity on requirements, polish level, and whether it’s worth building.
  2. Built but not product-ready You have a working tool (Excel workbook, Python script, prototype, internal utility) that needs refinement: better UX, clean inputs/outputs, documentation, licensing, or packaging.
  3. Finished and ready for distribution Your tool is stable, usable by others without you, and solves a real problem for a specific audience. You need a credible storefront, access control, licensing, and exposure.

What kinds of tools fit?
