Field Analysis — the Field Trip replacement, free
Field Trip reported population percentages. FieldRat Field Analysis covers the same workflow with async processing for large orgs: pick object, set threshold, review candidates.
FieldRat vs Field TripField Trip is gone.
Field Trip is gone.
FieldRat is the modern replacement.
FieldRat is a free alternative to Field Trip for Salesforce admins. It covers field population analysis and adds where-used dependency evidence, risk scoring, and retirement workflow controls before deletion.
Schema, not records Managed Salesforce package Free
Status check. Field Trip (originally from Qandor / RingLead, later associated with ZoomInfo) is no longer listed on the Salesforce AppExchange as of 2025. Salesforce admins who used Field Trip for field cleanup need a different tool now.
What FieldRat adds
What FieldRat adds beyond Field Trip
Field Trip answered one question: what percentage of records on this object populate this field? That number alone does not tell you whether a field is safe to delete. FieldRat covers the same population analysis and adds the dependency, risk, and evidence layers admins actually need to retire fields with confidence.
Quick Scan — the question Field Trip did not answer
Field Trip showed low population. Quick Scan shows where a field is still referenced across 11 metadata types natively in Salesforce, including Flow, Apex, Triggers, Permission Sets, and Layouts.
0-100 Deletion Risk Score
Field Trip gave a percentage. FieldRat adds composite risk scoring using usage, dependency breadth, and critical hits, so cleanup can be prioritized consistently.
Field Dictionary
Searchable org-wide object and field inventory with export support. The reference layer many Field Trip admins previously maintained manually.
Deep Scan — 23 metadata types
For higher-stakes deletions, expand to 23 metadata types through metadata ZIP. FieldRat generates package.xml automatically to reduce manual prep.
Retirement workflow + audit trail
Track each field through review, approval, and deletion with reviewer assignment, review dates, and App Log audit trail.

The replacement path
If you used Field Trip, here is the migration
Coming from Field Trip
Start with Field Analysis
- Field Analysis replicates the Field Trip population workflow with async scale.
- Use threshold-based candidate discovery across any object in your org.
- Always free for ongoing cleanup discovery.
Then upgrade the workflow
Add dependency evidence and risk scoring
- Run Quick Scan for native 11-type dependency evidence before deletion.
- Use Deep Scan (23 types) when decisions involve reporting or broader metadata risk.
- Prioritize with 0-100 risk score instead of percentage-only assumptions.
- Execute retirement with reviewer/date controls and export-ready evidence.
FAQ
Field Trip questions, answered
01Is Field Trip still available on the Salesforce AppExchange?
No. Field Trip — the long-standing free Salesforce field usage report tool, originally from Qandor / RingLead and later associated with ZoomInfo — has been removed from the AppExchange. Salesforce admins who relied on Field Trip for field population analysis now need a replacement.
02Is FieldRat a Field Trip alternative?
Yes, and it is the modern, native one. Field Analysis covers the same field population reporting Field Trip provided, and FieldRat goes further with dependency scanning across 11 to 23 metadata types, a 0 to 100 Deletion Risk Score, a searchable Salesforce data dictionary (Field Dictionary), Run Comparison for drift detection, a Scheduler, and a retirement workflow with audit-ready Excel and CSV exports. Field Analysis and Field Dictionary are always free.
03Does FieldRat send Salesforce record data outside the org?
No. Quick Scan is 100% native to Salesforce. Deep Scan processes a metadata ZIP — schema, not record data — and the ZIP is deleted after analysis completes. Business record values never leave your org.
04How is FieldRat priced?
FieldRat is free. All packaged functionality is included without a paid FieldRat plan, per-user pricing, credit card, or separate third-party subscription.
05Will FieldRat help with the Salesforce custom field limit?
Yes. The dashboard tracks per-object custom field limit utilization against the Salesforce 800-field cap, so you can free up headroom by retiring low-usage fields with evidence before hitting a hard limit.
Move on from Field Trip — with evidence.
FieldRat is free. Field Analysis and Field Dictionary are always free. See where every field is used, score the risk, and retire safely.
