About

SelfHost Directory is a catalog of self-hosted and open source alternatives to paid services. The idea is simple: for almost every SaaS that charges a monthly fee, there's an app you can run on your own server — with full control of your data and no per-user cost.

We catalog 1,327 tools across 83 categories, with 143 "alternative to a paid service" guides. The data comes from the open source project awesome-selfhosted (CC-BY-SA 3.0), continuously updated.

The site is maintained with automation: the data is refreshed regularly and new guides are added often. Found a mistake or want to suggest a tool? Contribute directly to the dataset.
