Solution Market User Guide

Solution Market is where you find and compare business solutions scattered across the internet in one place. Solutions we build ourselves are supplied as full source code, and if the solution you want doesn’t exist, you can propose that we build it.

You can do three things

• Find and compare — we show free open-source software, external paid solutions and enterprise services together with their source, license and collection date. External solutions are downloaded or bought on their source site.
• Exclusive Solutions — finished products we build and actually run ourselves. Try them first with the demo, then buy the full source with points and run it on your own server.
• Solution proposals — if nothing fits, tell us with a proposal. We keep you informed of the review process and outcome, and solutions approved for development are added to the public development schedule.

You can browse, search and compare without an account. You need an account to top up points, buy, join auctions and send technical support inquiries.

Free open-source solutions gathered from public repositories. These are programs you install yourself — follow each project’s instructions to download and install them.

How to do it

2. Filter Narrow the list by keyword, platform, sort order (stars · recently updated) or free licenses only.
3. View details Check the description, license, platforms, demo and repository, then tap [Get it free] to go to the project’s site.

What you see on screen

• Source credit — each list shows its original source (awesome-selfhosted and others) together with the license.
• AI translation — where the source’s English description has been translated into your interface language, you can open the original with [AI translation · view original].
• Non-free label — licenses that come with usage restrictions are marked separately, even when the source code is public.

Of the external solutions collected from marketplaces and directories, we only show those that pass automatic verification and rank near the top of their field.

How to read the details page

• Verification checklist — shows what we checked (whether it is a finished product, whether it is maintained, license, Docker, demo, installation docs and more), the evidence, how it was judged (rules · live check · AI evaluation) and the date. Items we could not check are left as "Not verified".
• Price at collection time — external prices are the values on the day we collected them, shown with that date. Please check the current price on the source site.
• [Go to purchase] — takes you to the source site. Payment, refunds and support are handled by that site and its seller. Affiliate links are marked "Affiliate link".
• Comparison by field — the comparison by field on the home page shows company-run services side by side with open-source software you install yourself.

During an event, the full source of Exclusive Solutions is auctioned from a very low starting price. If no one else bids, it is won at the starting price.

How to do it

1. View the event Check the items on sale, current price, time left and buy-now price under [Auction event]. The current price updates automatically.
2. Register If the event takes deposits, you put down a deposit in points when you register (usually 10% of the starting price). For events without a deposit, you bid right away.
3. Bid The next bid is the current price plus the bid increment. If a bid comes in within 5 minutes of the close, the close is pushed back by 5 minutes.
4. Buy now If there is a buy-now price, you can buy right away at that amount. Everyone who reaches the buy-now price gets a confirmed purchase at that price.
5. Pay After winning or a confirmed purchase, pay with points within 7 days. If your balance is enough, payment goes through right away, and your deposit is applied to the price.

Deposit rules

• If you don’t win, or the auction ends without a winner or is cancelled, your deposit is returned in points as soon as it closes.
• If you don’t pay within the payment deadline, the deposit is not returned, and you cannot join the next auction for the same item.
• Check your progress and the amounts to pay in [My auctions].
