AlternativeTo is a new approach to finding good software. Tell us what application you want to replace and we give you suggestions on great alternatives! Instead of listing thousands of more or less crappy applications in a category, we make each application into a category. Think of it like forever evolving blog posts about good alternatives to the software that you’re not satisfied with. And the “blog posts” are generated by you through suggestions, comments and votes.

Categories for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Web-based applications are listed. On each platform page, there are tabbed listings for recent additions, most viewed, and most liked software (I’ll skip “OMG FAIL”, since you’re likely not looking for a “worse alternative” anyway). You’ll find all the usual suspects listed, like Photoshop, Nero, Word, as well as user-recommended replacements.

Unlike most software guides, where you can look for programs based on a category, AlternativeTo.net is organized by program name.
