Bloomberg Terminal

“Real trading terminals cost $2,000+ a month. Most retail dashboards either lock the good stuff behind a paywall or run on a single flaky data source that breaks the moment you actually need it.”

OpenTerminal

Bloomberg wants $2,665 a month for a dark screen full of numbers. This is a dark screen full of numbers that runs on your laptop, off free public data, for nothing.

PayTrack

Tracking your own payslips is not a premium feature. PayTrack does your Australian tax estimate on your own machine, fee-free.

“A finance web ui that allows you to track your pay and tax instead of paying a fee from other finance apps.”

Vyra

Five finance apps, five monthly bills, all to tell you you're spending too much. Vyra is all five on your own server, billing you nothing.

“I built an Open-Source, Self-Hosted "Wealth OS" in Finance (because I hated paying for 5 different finance apps)”

Deft

Slack bills you per head, per month, forever. Deft puts chat, tasks and notes on your own server and bills you nothing.

“This started with three things: wanting Slack to do more, a growing resentment of SaaS bills, and getting slightly too obsessed with self-hosting.”
