What are open source alternatives?

Open source alternatives are free, community-developed software that can replace commercial SaaS products. You can self-host them on your own servers, maintaining full control over your data.

Why should I use self-hosted alternatives?

Self-hosted alternatives give you data ownership, no vendor lock-in, potential cost savings, and full transparency through auditable code.

Are open source alternatives reliable?

Many open source alternatives are used by thousands of companies and have active communities. Projects with high repository stars and recent commits are generally well-maintained.
