Develop, Market and Monetize a Google Add-on with Apps Script

" summary

How to build, market and monetize a Google Add‑on using Google Apps Script: development is done in Apps Script (server and client JavaScript) deployed from the script editor with one‑click publishing to the Marketplace. The Marketplace shows Docs add‑ons in the hundreds of thousands and Forms add‑ons in the tens of thousands; there is no built‑in payments system so authors implement paywalls (freemium, free tiers plus paid plans like €28/month). For heavy workloads Apps Script quotas require moving processing to external backends; examples include mail‑merge monetized by freemium and BI tools using tiered pricing.
