“I created an open source alternative to tools like Instantly or Smartlead, which charge huge amounts of money per lead for basic cold email campaign management.”

Hedwig

Instantly wants $97 a month to send cold email from inboxes you already own. Hedwig sends the same sequences for $0, and the code is yours to host.

replacesSlack Pro · $8.75/user/mo

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.”

replacesFlightConnections Premium · $39.99/yr

FSAtlas

FlightConnections bills $39.99 a year to show you where the planes go. FSAtlas plots 170,000 real routes on your own server and bills nobody.

“It's designed for flight simmers, virtual airline pilots, and aviation hobbyists who want realistic route inspiration for their next flight with powerful filters for MSFS, X-Plane, or Prepar3D without needing a paid subscription like FlightConnections.”

replacesOverleaf Standard · $25/mo

Aldine

Overleaf wants $25 a month before your co-author gets track changes. Aldine is the whole collaborative LaTeX editor in two containers, and nothing in it has a price.

“Most need a paid subscription service to enable proper collaboration, are clunky, and shove distracting non-features in your face.”
