Founder
I'm Vishrut Kumar but you can call me Vishy , Product Management student at IIIT Bangalore and the mind behind building SaaSForAll. My mission is to help early PMF startups stay lean by discovering open-source SaaS alternatives that can be self-hosted instead of paying expensive monthly fees. I'm also a software engineer and a startup enthusiast. you can self-host instead of burning cash on bloated SaaS bills.
A curated platform of self-hosted SaaS alternatives, battle-tested by indie founders and teams wanting Apple-level polish without the enterprise price tag. For early PMF startups to stay lean and save money.
I test, document, and publish transparent infra footprints so you can deploy with confidence. Buy Me A Coffee keeps the experiments going—ದಯವಿಟ್ಟು ಒಂದು ಫಿಲ್ಟರ್ ಕಾಫಿ ಕೊಡಿ ☕.
I have my personal frustration with the SAAS space! Because paying for tools that under-deliver is painful. Sharing the playbook publicly lowers the burn for everyone and keeps me honest while building in the open.
How it works
Use the catalog filters to find the self-hosted tool that matches your SaaS spend.
Check infra footprint, categories, and visit the repo or hosted demo to verify fit.
Clone the repo, run docker compose up, plug in your domain + SSL config. That’s it.
Monitor usage, iterate, and reinvest the saved subscription burn into your roadmap.
