AlternativeTo.net

John: So, the tip of the day is a website.

Adam: Oh?

John: Yeah, an interesting one, I have to say. It could be really useful for anyone who’s on a budget or just looking for free alternatives to software.

Adam: Computing on a budget—Linux even?

John: Exactly. The website is called AlternativeTo.net.

Adam: Got it. I’m going to check it out.

John: Yeah, open it up, and you’ll see it lets you search for any software and find free or alternative versions of it.

Adam: For example?

John: Say you type in “Microsoft Word.”

Adam: Okay, “Microsoft Word”—and then what?

John: It gives you a whole list of alternative software options, complete with reviews and discussions.

Adam: Oh, that’s useful.

John: Yeah! Some of them I’d never even heard of, like LanguageTool and… Quiga?

Adam: Quiga?

John: Yeah, weird names, but you can find alternatives for almost anything—Photoshop, Office, whatever you need but don’t want to pay for.

Adam: So, it’s for cheap people?

John: Pretty much! But honestly, that should be everyone.

Adam: Yeah, no kidding. That’s actually a really useful site.

John: One of our producers, Zach, sent it to me. It reminded me that I need to update my personal portal with more resources like this.
