Why not just all of them?

There is privacytools.io aswell

privacytools is controversial for turning into a cash grab and is about privacy alternatives, many apps have good privacy but aren't open and are missing some features so more general software alternatives sites are way better i personally like alternativeto

Privacy guides is the forked project by the original contributors.

i like alternativeto.net because it’s crowdsourced; not sure about the others

They are good guys, they even have a mastodon account: mas.to/@alternativeto

alternativeto.net is also my go-to resource because they have a good filtering system and are not solely focused on open source.

To me it is hard to find the best apps in their directory as they don’t have a good ranking system. The other sites that rank by GitHub stars do a pretty good job of surfacing what are the truly most popular and successful apps.

alternativeto
