Hello! In an effort to support the open source community, we’ve curated 200+ open source alternatives to tools that businesses require in day-to-day operations.

I think freeCAD probably is a better fit for CAD software than Blender.

Thanks for letting me know, adding freeCAD right away. :)

Was surprised grafana is not listed?

Grafana is here: https://www.btw.so/open-source-alternatives/observability-pl...

Hard to miss them!

It would be helpful to list what you consider to be the primary commercial solutions in each category. A lot of these categories I am unfamilar with by name but would understand if I saw some concrete companies or products listed alongside them.

You guys are using cloudinary to server images it seems which is blocked by most adblocker lists because it's to serve video ads a lot. Assets seemed to be served under https://res.cloudinary.com/adaface so I can't unblock just your one company.

Great effort though, seems similar to github awesome lists. I use https://github.com/topics/awesome to always get the latest ones

Yep absolutely!

We already have that. For eg: https://www.btw.so/open-source-alternatives/slack-alternativ...

Yeah, I noticed that actually. The search bar is pretty good at recognizing the principal competitors.

But when I go to, say, https://www.btw.so/open-source-alternatives/api-documentatio..., no where on that page does the word "Swagger" appear. Same story for https://www.btw.so/open-source-alternatives/business-communi... and Slack.

It seems like you already have the data, so it would just be a matter of finding the right UI for it.

Edit:

Now that I look real closely, I see in a tiny box on each alternative what the each thing competes with. I guess that works. Kind of obscure, though.
