OpenAlternative
openalternative.coA directory of open source alternatives to proprietary software, read mostly by developers and engineering leads. Only open source projects with a public repository belong here. Free submissions sit in a queue; the Standard package at $97 publishes within 48 hours but explicitly excludes a dofollow link, which starts at the $137 Premium package.
