For the people who build
Built it your way? Let the world try it.
Share your free alternative with the world. Find your first users, thoughtful feedback, and a few well-earned stars.
No fees. No unnecessary hoops.
Three quick steps from your project to the directory.
Choose Submit project, paste a link, and name the paid tool it replaces. Add a description, category, and access model. Every submission is reviewed before publication. A contact email is required so the administrator can reach you. This address stays private.
Independent alternatives. Clear expectations.
A working free version
Core functionality must remain available without an app fee or an expiration date. Trials and affiliate pages are not enough. Explain infrastructure costs and third-party fees.
Independent projects
Submit only projects you built or have the right to share. No cracks, leaked source code, or license bypasses.
Clear details
Describe the license, supported platforms, account requirements, and self-hosting needs honestly. Explain what the project does and where it has limits.
Review before publication
The administrator reviews submissions before they appear. These guidelines explain how the directory is moderated.
Your submission is sent for review. It will appear in the directory only after the administrator approves it.
Is everything here actually free?
Projects need a working free version with no expiration date, not just a trial. Self-hosted tools may still require a server budget. Access models and limitations appear in each listing. Projects are reviewed before publication.
Does a project have to be open source?
No. The directory welcomes both open-source projects and free, closed-source apps. These are clearly labeled and easy to filter. Creators disclose the license, supported platforms, and any hosting requirements.
How do I submit my alternative?
Choose Submit project, paste a link, and name the paid tool it replaces. Add a description, category, and access model. Every submission is reviewed before publication. A contact email is required so the administrator can reach you. This address stays private.
What does not belong in the directory?
This is a place for independent alternatives, not cracks, leaked code, or license bypasses. Submitters must have the right to share their project. No fake endorsements and no paid ranking boosts.
