Nº 001 — 2,120 free alternatives to paid SaaS
Before buying software,
ask one question:Can I fork it?
We went through 513 paid apps you're probably subscribed to and found the best free & open-source alternatives to do the same job. Keep the subscription money, and skip the million tokens you'd burn vibe-coding a clone.
The index
Pick what you're paying for.
Try
Nothing here yet.
We haven't indexed that one. Try a category name, or the name of a free tool you already know.
Checked by hand
License, last commit, star count and how it actually installs. If it's abandoned or a trial in disguise, it's out.
The catch, up front
Every pick says what you give up compared to the paid app, so you're not finding out three weeks into a migration.
Build or alternative?
Each app gets a straight answer on whether you could vibe-code it. If not, switch to a free alternative that already works and save the tokens.
