About

OpenAlternative is a directory of open source alternatives to popular SaaS products and software. It lists tools by the proprietary product they replace, with entries such as Notion, Slack, Figma and 1Password shown on the home page. The home page does not say how to submit a product, whether listing is free, what it costs, or how long review takes. It does say that advertising is offered: a sponsor is shown near the top of the home page beside the words 'Advertise with us'. The home page also states that over 1 million users replaced proprietary tools with open source software. Founders should check the site's submission pages directly before listing, because this profile is based only on the home page.

What it lists

  • Open source alternatives to popular SaaS products
