01 / What's inside
Three things, every issue.
02
Self-hosted alternatives
Notable self-hosted alternatives to the commercial tools teams already pay for, so you know what to switch to when you want more control.
03
Directory highlights
Repos with real GitHub momentum, plus the occasional guide from the blog when it is genuinely worth your time.
02 / The format
Anatomy of an issue.
Short on purpose. Every section below earns its place — if we don't have something worth saying for one, we leave it out rather than fill space.
New this month
4-6 fresh projects, one line each on what they do and why they made the cut.
Alternative spotlight
One open-source alternative to a popular SaaS tool, looked at a little closer.
Trending on GitHub
Projects already in the directory that picked up unusual momentum this month.
From the blog
A guide or comparison worth reading — only when we published one.
03 / Questions
Before you sign up.
How often will I get it?
Once a month. We would rather send one email worth opening than five you learn to ignore.
Will you spam me, or sell my email?
No. No partner blasts, no sponsored placements disguised as picks, no selling or sharing your address. Just the monthly issue.
Can I unsubscribe anytime?
Yes, with one click from any issue. No login, no "are you sure" maze.
Is it free?
Yes, free for as long as the directory exists.
Who writes it?
The team behind OpenSaasDirectory, the same people curating the directory itself.
