## About

Open Source Alternatives is a directory of open source software that replaces paid products, aimed at people who want a free or self-hosted option to a commercial tool. It lists more than 800 apps, from developer tools to productivity and AI, and groups them into alternative guides such as Slack, Jira and Notion. Projects are added through a submit form that asks for a company, project name, email, website and a public GitHub repository. The site does not state a submission fee, a review time or whether listings include a backlink. Sponsor cards can be bought for 7 or 30 days, but no price is shown on the advertise page. Founders should confirm the terms before submitting, since the site does not say whether a listing is free.

## How to submit
