# OpenAlternative

A directory of open-source software alternatives to proprietary tools, listing curated alternatives and allowing users to filter and browse by category.

**Route:** surfaced by the Web Application and Frontend Hosting Platform lane's de-branded queries → lists to vercel.com.

**Why it's on the map:** The page indexes vendors across many categories, including tools that compete with or relate to the anchor's market (e.g., AI/agentic tools), but does not sell any itself—it is a discovery and comparison resource.

**Receipts** (verbatim from its page this run):

> Open Source Alternatives to Popular Software

> Browse Alternatives Categories Collections

> People are looking for alternatives to...
