There are a couple of source available projects (https://openaltfinder.com/licenses/source-available), but because of the custom ranking, they’ll always be ranked lower anyway.
I run OpenAltFinder, a curated directory of open source alternatives to popular software.

The “AI-free” part refers more to AI usage in building the alternatives, but I get your point.


It’s a fair point, the original idea was to make it easier for people to switch to open source software by framing it as “I’m looking for an X alternative, so here’s A, B and C”. But I can see the concern around that as well.


The main detector at the moment is looking at the contributors in their commits. But you’re right, it will require some more detection.


There’s quite a few alternatives to Pinterest, but many are just bookmark managers (like Pinterest is anyway). Pinry is probably the closest one to Pinterest.
There’s a couple of capcut alternatives: OpenCut, FableCut, Shocut and Kdenlive.


Monica and Meercat CRM are decent options.


I also maintain one at openaltfinder.com, although it’s specifically designed to find alternatives to proprietary software.


I just published the weekly report for OpenAltFinder: #31
Added 19 new alternatives, and all projects in the CMS gained a total of 26,373 stars! The top gainer was Pi, with 2,302 new stars.
Yes, partially because I’m not entirely sure yet on what to do with those projects. Right now all those licenses get a zero score, so they’ll always be listed lower. But perhaps the move is to just not accept those licenses in the first place.
Right now it’s less than 10 projects, out of the nearly 500.
