Alternatives: FAQ

What counts as an indie alternative on VibeKing?

An app listed on VibeKing whose own website names the bigger tool as what it compares with or replaces, and which was online at its last liveness check. Tools that only work alongside the bigger tool are left out.

Why are only a few big tools covered?

A page is published only when at least 10 live alternatives qualify, so every page has a real choice on it.
