What the Marketplace is
Building your software from a blank page gives you exactly what you want, but it takes a few conversations to get there. The Unstack Marketplace is the shortcut: a library of things other people have already built, which you can install into your own app and then change.
It has four sections:
- Templates. Pre-built software setups, such as a CRM or an invoicing system, that install into your app.
- Agents. Ready-made AI employees that work inside your workspace.
- Collections. Bundles of templates that install together.
- Builders. People you can hire to design and build on Unstack for you.
Why it exists
Most businesses need some version of the same things: a place to keep customers, a way to send invoices, a schedule, a list of jobs. The details differ from one business to the next, but the starting point is similar.
A template gives you that starting point. It is not a finished product you have to live with. It is a first draft that already works.
How it works
- Browse. Open Marketplace from the sidebar. You can search, filter by free or paid, and sort by most popular or by price. Each template has a page that describes what it includes.
- Install. Choose Use template on a free template or Get template on a paid one, and pick the app it should go into. Unstack creates the template's tables, pages and automations in that app.
- Change it. Everything a template installs is yours to edit. Rename fields, add columns, ask the builder to rework a page.
You can also browse the public catalog at unstack.us/marketplace before you sign up.
What is in it
The catalog changes as new templates are published. At the time of writing it includes:
Contacts CRM
A CRM for tracking contacts, leads and customers.
Invoicing and subscriptions
Invoices with line items and taxes, plus recurring billing.
E-signature
Send a document for signature and collect it on a public signing page.
Setups for a whole business
Larger templates cover several jobs at once. One runs the client side of a service business. Another is built for a specific trade, with customers, vehicles and jobs for a mobile mechanic.
AI employees
Agents with a defined job, such as a front desk agent that answers messages and books appointments, or an executive assistant that handles email and calendar.
This is not an app store
Most marketplaces sell you a product you cannot open. This one works differently:
- The pages are code in your app. An installed page is the same kind of file the AI builder writes. You can ask the builder to change it or open it in the Code Editor.
- The tables are your tables. They show up under Data & API with every field visible, and your roles apply to them like any other table.
- Nothing is hidden. You can see each field, each relationship and each automation a template added.
- Changing it is the point. Templates are built to be adapted to how you work.
Changing an installed template
- Use the AI builder to describe changes in plain language: "add a referral source field to contacts and show it on the list"
- Open Data & API and go to Tables to add, rename or remove fields by hand
- Open Automations to see the workflows the template added and adjust them
- Open the Code Editor if you want to edit a page file directly
Updates
The My Templates tab lists the templates installed in your workspace. When a template's author publishes a new version, you see an Update template button there. Updates apply in place. A snapshot of your app is taken first, so you can restore the earlier state from Version History if the update is not what you wanted.
Publishing your own
If you have built something other businesses could use, you can publish it. Templates can be free or paid, and the My Templates tab is where you manage what you have published, including earnings and payouts. If you build for clients, you can also apply to be listed as a builder.
Where to start
Open the Marketplace from your sidebar and look for the template closest to what you need. Install it, click through the pages with your own work in mind, and then tell the builder what to change. Starting from something that already works is usually quicker than starting from nothing, and you can still end up with software that fits your business.
