Template card freshness and adoption signals
Show ratings, add counts, update recency, categories, and included features on each template page so the buyer can judge whether the asset is alive and trusted before duplicating it.
Why this can grow a startup
Template marketplaces fail when every page looks equally plausible. Buyers need shortcuts. Review volume hints that real people used the thing, recency hints that it still works, and feature lists hint at whether the template actually uses the product well. Those signals cut choice anxiety, which means less browsing theater and more actual duplication.
Company example
Notion's Marketplace pages show reviews and overall rating, how many times the template was added, how recently it was updated, the categories it belongs to, and the Notion features included.
