You are right! Alternative is similar to AlternativeTo and SaaSHub. We are mainly if you are not connected to the Alternative dashboard. In the offline version, the search results are presented as a list. Moreover, softwares are added by the community.

Nevertheless there are differences!

When using Alternative without sign in, we differ by :

- search filters that allow you to build your requirements

- a display of search results by similarity index

When using Alternative with sign in, we differ by :

- more advanced comparison tools

- more data in the software file

- a space to share your stacks and argue about about its

- a semi-automated filling of the form to add a software

These differences are the result of a vision oriented search engine more than data directory. We hope that with the craze that could be around this project we will build indexing robots specialized in the discovery and revalidation of data.

It seems ambitious but, we target to be more exhaustive than AlternativeTo and SaaSHub. That's why we combined crowdsourcing and robots.

Did I answer your question ?

You explain what the website does not but so much what problem is being solved. I use alternativeto a lot, and never had an issue finding what I need. I usually type the name of an app related to what I need and browse the alternatives. Usually I'd also select a few filters, for example the operating system or open source.

At not point did I think "I can't do x or y, and if only there was a similarity index or robots I could". So you might have more features than alternativeto but why would anyone need them is the part that's missing.

1. There's no alternativeto in french.

2. With those tools, we think you'll make your choice faster even with a very long results list. I think you deserve these tools as a counterpart for your work on Alternative. We build it thinking to corporate needs.

If you are ok with Alternativeto that's fine. :)
