HissingKitty ranks every software alternative based on real bills, switching stories, and AI-native tools that are replacing the incumbents. We track what teams actually pay for HubSpot, Salesforce, Zendesk, Intercom, Klaviyo, Webflow, and the rest. That includes the renewal jumps, seat surprises, and usage shocks that don’t show up on pricing pages.”
Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Christine, maker of HissingKitty.
It's a crazy time to be paying for technology. So, what do you do when anyone can build anything with AI? You launch a site for people to compare not just other software, but the cost of building internally vs. continuing to rent from a third party.
Sounds easy enough? But the numbers you need to make that call are hard to find. Vendor pages show list prices, not what teams actually pay, and review sites compare one vendor with another, never with owning your own.
Per-seat software prices go up at every renewal, while the cost of building your own software keeps falling. A team can now get its own CRM built in weeks, or move to a newer AI-native tool.
HissingKitty is a free, independent record of how teams replace rented software. For each company we track (HubSpot, Linear, Adobe, Mailchimp, and more) you'll see what teams actually pay, from buyer reports, why they leave, AI-native alternatives, and even companies that build custom internal tools.
This is a free resource. Vendors can't pay for placement, we take no referral fees and sell no leads, and alternatives are ranked by visitor votes only.
I'd love to know which tool you're most tired of renting, and whether your renewal quote matches what we're seeing. 🐱
