AlternativeTo is a large database of software and online services focused on showing popular alternatives to applications. They have a lot of filters that you can use to find the right app for you and hopefully they will soon include an EU or country of origin filter!
Btw, it’s a Swedish website.
Found on Reddit
“currently owned by” with adjacent flag would also be helpful, since american asset management companies love to buy companies and expertise from abroad
Is AlternativeTo actually good? It’s always come across to me like SEO garbage. The sort of thing that felt AI generated long before LLMs came on the scene a couple of years ago. So I’ve always avoided it.
It’s been pretty decent enough in my experience but gotta go to the original. I recall there used to be a .com or alternativeDASHto knockoff that used to show up in google results and that was definitely SEO spammy (been a couple years since I accidentally clicked into one though.)
It’s a pity it isn’t open data, but no opensource project has been able to replicate their interface and make the data available, so I guess this is the best we can do at the moment. Still, my goto when looking for alternatives.
If only they switched the website button with the alternatives button.
Because that’s just awful UX.
