Just a moment...
alternativeto.net

AlternativeTo is a site I use quite a bit. Personally I use it when I get fed up with an Android app having too many ads / creepy network behavior or want to find a self-hostable version of a freemium service.

It has filters for free, open source, platform type, etc. From my understanding it’s all crowd sourced, so if you disagree with a rating put in a vote! Sharing this in hopes that others find it as useful as I do.

If you know of similar or better resources I would love to hear about them.

Edit: many people are noting that the comments and reviews are out of date. I agree! Despite that I still find it to he useful. It would be great if this little bit of visibility gets more folks engaged over there to improve it.

    It is actually useful?

    In my experience it just looked like SEO farm that polluted my search results with irrelvant machine-generated content.

      Totally. I often go directly to it to find applications.

      It’s how I found kdenlive, it’s how I found audiobookshelf, etc.

        Guess I should give it a proper look, then.

      Yep! There are so also many niche applications people never heard.

      I regularly checking it for any FOSS alternative to any closed-source software. For example: Inochi2D, AB Download Manager, Miria, OpenUTAU, Our Paint, and Wick Editor.
