What we do
Every page takes one popular app and lines up its alternatives side by side. The original app sits in the first row, so you can see what you would gain and what you would give up by switching.
The five columns
- Price. Free, freemium (a free tier with paid upgrades) or paid, with the starting price where we have it.
- Open source. Whether the source code is published under an open licence.
- Self-host. Whether you can run it on your own server.
- Offline. Yes if it works fully without a connection, partial if only some features do.
- Platforms. Web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android.
Where the data comes from
The catalog combines hand-curated comparisons with listings gathered from public sources, including community directories such as AlternativeTo. Alternatives from those sources are only shown when they belong to the same or a closely related category, so a browser page doesn’t list presentation software.
Like counts reflect community popularity. They help sort the table but they are not a review score. Liking an app on this site is saved in your own browser and is not sent to us.
Our pick
Some pages mark one alternative as “our pick”: the option we would point most people to first. It is an editorial choice, and nobody can pay for it.
Independence
Vendors do not pay to be listed, ranked or picked, and the “Visit” links are plain links with no affiliate tracking. See the disclaimer for the details.
