How this works
1Pick the product you want to leave
One board per product. Everything on it is an alternative to that one thing, so you are comparing tools that actually replace it.
2Read both prices
What the tool paid us for the position, and what it is giving you to switch — credits, a free migration, months on the house. Both are printed on the row.
3Take the offer, or say it is wrong
The offer is honoured by the tool, not by us. Voting costs nothing and moves nothing: rank here is the bid, and we are not going to pretend otherwise.
Selling one of these? Someone else is in your spot.
160 positions across 16 boards are filled with tools we picked ourselves, for free, in front of people searching for a replacement right now. Any of them can be claimed. The first costs $1; every claim after that costs a dollar more than the one before, so the board only gets more expensive to enter.
No account needed. Live the moment Stripe clears. What you pay is printed next to your listing, forever.
Questions
- How is the order on a board decided?
- By what each tool paid for its position, and by nothing else — no reviews, no scoring, no editorial pass. Every paid position prints what it paid, next to the tool that paid it.
- Are these rankings paid?
- Yes, and that is the point of the site. Positions nobody has bought are filled with alternatives we picked ourselves; those are drawn dashed and marked unpaid, and any of them can be claimed from $1.
- What do I get for switching?
- Whatever the tool wrote on its listing: credits, a free migration, months on the house. The offer is made and honoured by that tool directly — xAlternative sells the position and publishes the promise, and counts how many people took it.
- What does a position cost?
- A dollar more than the tool at the top of that board. An empty board opens at $1, and every claim raises the price of the next one, so getting on later costs more by construction rather than by a fee schedule.
- Can I get a board for my product?
- Anyone can open one — naming the product people would be switching away from. Asking for one is free, and the requests page shows what people have asked for and nobody has opened yet.
- Does voting change the ranking?
- No. Votes cost nothing and move nothing: rank is the bid. What they produce is the one number on the page a merchant cannot buy — whether the people arriving actually want the tool sitting in the position.
