    Contains many useful apps and software in a list. Much of the software I hadn't heard of before. AlternativeTo is probably easier for finding alternatives, though.

    Good amount of free software is listed, but you can't look up alternatives directly, both because non-free software is not listed, and there is no such function. It's more of a catalog, with tags and categories.

    It doesn't list the softwares per se, but more like by usage, and it doesn't compare softs. I found it very different to this web.

    There is no overlap in functionality of alternativeto.net and PRISM Break to qualify either as an alternative to the other.
