Original caption

Most founders and creators accept subscription costs as unavoidable. Hundreds every month for tools they use daily. But there's a better approach most people don't know about. Open Apps is a directory of vetted open-source alternatives to major paid tools. Not random GitHub links. Not untested projects. Professional alternatives that actually work. Need an alternative to Cursor? It's there. ChatGPT? Notion? Canva? Firebase? All there. AI tools, productivity apps, backend services, DevOps platforms - all organized and quality-checked by experienced technologists. Open-source alternatives exist for most tools. They just aren't promoted with million-dollar ad budgets. So you don't need to keep paying for tools that have free alternatives. Not when Open Apps has curated them all in one place. Comment 'OPEN' below and I’ll send you the link so you too can access them. #freetools #opensource #ai #nocode #aitools
