Part IV Questions, answered

What is SaaS Alts?

SaaS Alts is an independent guide to alternatives for popular SaaS apps across 15 categories. Each entry lists only what the vendor's own pages state: price, free plan, open-source and self-hosting status.

How are alternatives chosen?

An alternative is another app in the guide that shares at least one category with the app you know. They are ordered by shared categories, then by how much the vendor states, then by name.

Can a vendor pay to rank higher?

No. Advertising is labelled and never changes an entry or the order of alternatives.

Does the publisher list its own apps?

Yes. Apps built by the publisher are listed on the same rules and marked "Ours" wherever they appear.
