# Awesome open-source alternatives to SaaS
[](https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome)
Awesome list of open-source startup alternatives to established SaaS products. Maintained by folks at [](https://runacap.com)
Also checkout our [ROSS index](https://runacap.com/ross-index/): fastest-growing open-source startups, every quarter.
## Criteria
Open-source company is added to the list if:
1. Its product is strongly based on an open-source repo
2. It has a well-known closed-source competitor, solving a similar business problem
3. It is a private for-profit company, founded in the last 10 years
4. Its repo has 100+ stars on GitHub
Things change really fast in the startup world, so this list can neither be fully complete, nor 100% up to date.
Don't hesitate to [contribute](.github/CONTRIBUTING.md) and add new startups. Let's build the most comprehensive list together.
--------------------
## Startup List
All startups in the list are sorted by categories and sorted in alphabetical order. If you click on the stars badge you will get to the product's repo.

# Awesome open-source alternatives to SaaS
[](https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome)
Awesome list of open-source startup alternatives to established SaaS products. Maintained by folks at [](https://runacap.com)
Also checkout our [ROSS index](https://runacap.com/ross-index/): fastest-growing open-source startups, every quarter.
## Criteria
Open-source company is added to the list if:
1. Its product is strongly based on an open-source repo
2. It has a well-known closed-source competitor, solving a similar business problem
3. It is a private for-profit company, founded in the last 10 years
4. Its repo has 100+ stars on GitHub
Things change really fast in the startup world, so this list can neither be fully complete, nor 100% up to date.
Don't hesitate to [contribute](.github/CONTRIBUTING.md) and add new startups. Let's build the most comprehensive list together.
--------------------
## Startup List
All startups in the list are sorted by categories and sorted in alphabetical order. If you click on the stars badge you will get to the product's repo.

# Awesome open-source alternatives to SaaS
[](https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome)
Awesome list of open-source startup alternatives to established SaaS products. Maintained by folks at [](https://runacap.com)
Also checkout our [ROSS index](https://runacap.com/ross-index/): fastest-growing open-source startups, every quarter.
## Criteria
Open-source company is added to the list if:
1. Its product is strongly based on an open-source repo
2. It has a well-known closed-source competitor, solving a similar business problem
3. It is a private for-profit company, founded in the last 10 years
4. Its repo has 100+ stars on GitHub
Things change really fast in the startup world, so this list can neither be fully complete, nor 100% up to date.
Don't hesitate to [contribute](.github/CONTRIBUTING.md) and add new startups. Let's build the most comprehensive list together.
--------------------
## Startup List
All startups in the list are sorted by categories and sorted in alphabetical order. If you click on the stars badge you will get to the product's repo.

# Awesome open-source alternatives to SaaS
[](https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome)
Awesome list of open-source startup alternatives to established SaaS products. Maintained by folks at [](https://runacap.com)
Also checkout our [ROSS index](https://runacap.com/ross-index/): fastest-growing open-source startups, every quarter.
## Criteria
Open-source company is added to the list if:
1. Its product is strongly based on an open-source repo
2. It has a well-known closed-source competitor, solving a similar business problem
3. It is a private for-profit company, founded in the last 10 years
4. Its repo has 100+ stars on GitHub
Things change really fast in the startup world, so this list can neither be fully complete, nor 100% up to date.
Don't hesitate to [contribute](.github/CONTRIBUTING.md) and add new startups. Let's build the most comprehensive list together.
--------------------
## Startup List
All startups in the list are sorted by categories and sorted in alphabetical order. If you click on the stars badge you will get to the product's repo.

# Awesome open-source alternatives to SaaS
[](https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome)
Awesome list of open-source startup alternatives to established SaaS products. Maintained by folks at [](https://runacap.com)
Also checkout our [ROSS index](https://runacap.com/ross-index/): fastest-growing open-source startups, every quarter.
## Criteria
Open-source company is added to the list if:
1. Its product is strongly based on an open-source repo
2. It has a well-known closed-source competitor, solving a similar business problem
3. It is a private for-profit company, founded in the last 10 years
4. Its repo has 100+ stars on GitHub
Things change really fast in the startup world, so this list can neither be fully complete, nor 100% up to date.
Don't hesitate to [contribute](.github/CONTRIBUTING.md) and add new startups. Let's build the most comprehensive list together.
--------------------
## Startup List
All startups in the list are sorted by categories and sorted in alphabetical order. If you click on the stars badge you will get to the product's repo.
**Have a good search!**

# Awesome open-source alternatives to SaaS
[](https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome)
Awesome list of open-source startup alternatives to established SaaS products. Maintained by folks at [](https://runacap.com)
Also checkout our [ROSS index](https://runacap.com/ross-index/): fastest-growing open-source startups, every quarter.
## Criteria
Open-source company is added to the list if:
1. Its product is strongly based on an open-source repo
2. It has a well-known closed-source competitor, solving a similar business problem
3. It is a private for-profit company, founded in the last 10 years
4. Its repo has 100+ stars on GitHub
Things change really fast in the startup world, so this list can neither be fully complete, nor 100% up to date.
Don't hesitate to [contribute](.github/CONTRIBUTING.md) and add new startups. Let's build the most comprehensive list together.
--------------------
## Startup List
All startups in the list are sorted by categories and sorted in alphabetical order. If you click on the stars badge you will get to the product's repo.
**Have a good search!**

# Awesome open-source alternatives to SaaS
[](https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome)
Awesome list of open-source startup alternatives to established SaaS products. Maintained by folks at [](https://runacap.com)
Also checkout our [ROSS index](https://runacap.com/ross-index/): fastest-growing open-source startups, every quarter.
## Criteria
Open-source company is added to the list if:
1. Its product is strongly based on an open-source repo
2. It has a well-known closed-source competitor, solving a similar business problem
3. It is a private for-profit company, founded in the last 10 years
4. Its repo has 100+ stars on GitHub
Things change really fast in the startup world, so this list can neither be fully complete, nor 100% up to date.
Don't hesitate to [contribute](.github/CONTRIBUTING.md) and add new startups. Let's build the most comprehensive list together.
Any questions or suggestions? Feel free to DM project maintainer [@garrrikkotua](https://twitter.com/garrrikkotua)
--------------------
## Startup List
All startups in the list are sorted by categories and sorted in alphabetical order. If you click on the stars badge you will get to the product's repo.
**Have a good search!**
