Open Source Alternative Finder
Free replacements for Slack, Notion, Figma & 60+ paid tools
A daily-updated comparison site covering 60+ proprietary SaaS tools and their free, self-hosted open-source alternatives. Every page includes pricing tables, self-hosting difficulty ratings, step-by-step migration guides, and an AI verdict. Built and run by John Ogoina, a solo developer based in Nigeria.
Hey PH 👋 I'm John, the solo developer behind OSALFinder — built and run from Nigeria.
The idea came from a simple frustration: teams were paying $8,000+/year for tools like Slack, Notion, Figma, and Jira — and equally good self-hosted alternatives existed for the cost of a $6/month VPS. But there was nowhere that compared them honestly, with real pricing tables, self-hosting difficulty ratings, and step-by-step migration guides.
So I built it. The entire site runs on a $0/month pipeline — GitHub Actions scrapes live data daily, Groq AI generates the comparison content, and GitHub Pages hosts it all for free. 57 comparisons across 8 categories, rebuilt every 24 hours.
A few things I'm especially proud of:
— The "Stay with the paid tool if..." section on every page (we're honest when the OSS alternative isn't good enough)
— Self-hosting difficulty ratings (1–5 scale with time estimates)
— The Savings Calculator that shows your team's exact annual saving
Happy to answer any questions about the pipeline, the niche, or building solo with AI tools.
