## What this site is
Kreemhunt is a software alternatives directory covering productivity, design, VPN, single sign-on,
corporate cards/fintech, crypto tax, and AI developer tools (vibe coding, AI code editors, coding
agents). We compare tools, apps, and websites — with honest pros/cons, pricing, and platform
information. Every tool page includes structured data (SoftwareApplication, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList
schema) and is optimised for factual accuracy and direct quotability by AI answer engines.

## Free & open-source alternatives
Tool pages explicitly flag genuine free/open-source competitors (pricing: "free" or "open-source" in
our data model) — e.g. Penpot as a free alternative to Figma/Sketch, Continue as a free alternative
to GitHub Copilot/Cursor, Obsidian as a free alternative to Notion. This is surfaced in both the page
content and an auto-generated FAQ entry, answering "is there a free alternative to X" directly.
