Graveyard
The app died. The alternative did not.
5 apps we cover shut down while we were writing this directory. Whoever paid for them lost the tool; whoever used the free project next to it did not. It is the same risk you run with every row in the list above.
Every alternative was checked by hand — there are no votes and no buyable positions. Prices are in dollars.
