AlternativeTo is a site I use quite a bit. Personally I use it when I get fed up with an Android app having too many ads / creepy network behavior or want to find a self-hostable version of a freemium service.

It has filters for free, open source, platform type, etc. From my understanding it's all crowd sourced, so if you disagree with a rating put in a vote! Sharing this in hopes that others find it as useful as I do.

If you know of similar or better resources I would love to hear about them.

Edit: many people are noting that the comments and reviews are out of date. I agree! Despite that I still find it to he useful. It would be great if this little bit of visibility gets more folks engaged over there to improve it.

It's a great place to find alternatives (including opensource alternatives) to services and software.

Easy to find apps and websites, but I find many reviews to be inaccurate and when you submit a description for your website anyone can alter that description which I find annoying because you have to go back and correct whatever that person deleted or changed. Otherwise page gives a lot of information.

Alternativeto is not itself FOSS or anything, but it's nonetheless a handy tool for finding open alternatives for proprietary software & services.

There's an Open Source filter under Licenses.

I've found a lot of good stuff there.
