free alternative to
Spotify

“In a d*ck move Spotify decided to impose restrcitions in their free version that they have for the rest of the world: 6 skips per hour, no add to queue, only shuffly playback and tons of annoying ads (earlier it was 1 ad per 30 mins).”

Listune

Spotify rationed the free tier to six skips an hour, so Listune plays the MP3s you already own, from your disk, S3 or Google Drive. Skips: unlimited.

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.”

replacesBitly Core · $10/mo

Jinx

Bitly wants $10 a month to remember that one URL means another URL. Jinx is a text file on GitHub Pages and it remembers for free.

“Paid link shorteners cost money every month for something that's really just a lookup table.”

replacesAdobe Acrobat Standard · $14.99/mo

S-PDF

Adobe wants $14.99 a month to merge two PDFs. S-PDF runs on your own box and merges them for the cost of electricity.

“A fast, self-hosted, open-source alternative to Adobe Acrobat / iLovePDF. Merge, split, convert, watermark, compress and visually edit PDFs from a clean, modern web UI - no subscriptions, no watermarked exports, no uploads to a third party.”
