Find alternative to your softwares

22 Dec

Tired of crappy software?
AlternativeTo is a new approach to finding good software. Tell it what application you want to replace and we give you great alternatives, based on user recommendations. It is a new website which I believe that it will help to help open source software to find its users because nowadays you can find an alternative to any payed and proprietary software.

In the website I found a citation which I liked a lot:

“Whether you’re looking for an alternative to expensive commercial software or just trying to get a feel for what’s out there, AlternativeTo is a handy service for finding software alternatives.”
