FAQ
The ones tagged FREE are genuinely free for personal use, with no credit card required. Some have paid upgrades, but their free tier is enough for the vast majority of users. We tag CHEAPER for paid alternatives that are at least 30% less than the original, and BEST VALUE for the option we think most people should pick.
We pick based on three criteria: feature parity with the original, user trust (active community, security record, business model), and price. We do not accept payment to add or remove an alternative. Affiliate links are clearly labeled with a "sponsored" tag.
