Notes
- Licenses and star counts are refreshed from the GitHub API and can change. Check each project before you adopt it.
- "Open source" here means source is publicly available. Some entries use fair-code or source-available licenses and are marked as such.
Data sources
- Curated entries: the original tool-to-alternative pairs are maintained by hand in
data.json. - Discovered entries: more pairs were found with the GitHub Search API by looking for public repositories whose description says "alternative to X". Those entries reuse the repository's own GitHub description, and a human decided which targets are paid SaaS products.
- Ordering: a hand-picked set of household-name apps (see
featured.json) comes first, then the rest by the Tranco ranking of each product's website. Products that share a giant parent site (Google, Microsoft, Adobe, Amazon) aren't ranked by that site's traffic. Categories are ordered by their most popular app. Alternatives within an app are listed as submitted. - Stars, licenses and last-push dates: pulled from the GitHub REST API and refreshed weekly. Where GitHub can't detect a license, the entry says "See repo".
- Community submissions: added through the issue form and pull requests.
- Verification: the original curated pairs were cross-checked against independent sources (comparison articles and directories). Where a project replaces only part of a product, its description says so.
- Disclosure: some listed projects are maintained by the author of this list (Anil-matcha and SamurAIGPT). Each one's own repository description claims it as an alternative to the listed app.
- This list does not copy data from AlternativeTo, OpenAlternative or other directories.
