A lot of the software on this list is "freemium" open source. For example Strapi and SuperTokens are open source. But require a paid plan/license when growing the application to a bigger scale, because you are going to need their paid features at some point.

I like this. Sadly most alternative sites are a cesspool of intrusive ads and popups while the actual information seems suspiciously shallow and canned. Human curated information would be the best.

Also https://github.com/sfermigier/awesome-foss-alternatives (made by me).

There is already https://www.opensourcealternative.to/, what is the value proposition of your site?

Good work.
I collect and recommend catalogues like this to clients because an angle some people miss is how alternatives help security. They fall at the first hurdle by thinking that Microsoft, Google or whatever are the only solutions. Or thinking that popularity tracks security. But lack of maneuverability is a key weakness in any defensive position and diversity is a hugely overlooked factor in resilience and security engineering.

Lots of perfect examples on this page why OpenSource on its own is no benefit for the customer.

I'm having an "am I getting old?" moment by barely knowing anything on that list, and not finding Photoshop for example.

Cool. It would be more useful if it was organized by the tool the visitor is trying to replace
by sn0wtrooper on 3/8/2024, 12:23:20 PM
Suggestion: it would be great if I typed the software I was looking for a replacement, and the OSS alternative was returned as result.

A lot of these applications have either an SSO tax or BSL licensing, i'd recommend adding tags for that.

Gotta wonder if the people at PostHog workshopped the name at all before launching...

Nice!
I would suggest Nextcloud for google drive slash microsoft onedrive alternative.
I have been using in production for years, and it has been awesome.
Note sure about licensing.
Another is Proxmox. It is freemium, yet solid.

Neat, thanks for sharing this, will definitely be a good back pocket list.

Trying to submit something, you are bound to a fixed list of categories and alternatives.
If what you want to submit doesn't fit the fixed values in there, you are blocked.
by 7thaccount on 3/8/2024, 12:44:45 PM
I think categories would be helpful. So you could have a category of mathematical optimization solvers and have Highs, Coin-OR, SCIP...etc in that category.

Another good one is the "awesome self hosted" list.
There's also https://alternativeto.net/, tagged with licencing model
