OpenBeta

OpenBeta is a discovery site for newly launched software, organised by the problem each tool solves instead of by category. Pick a problem like “Clients pay late” or “Client reports take hours” and see the newest tools that fix it, compared on price, fit and who they suit. Free for founders to list.

Most software directories sort tools by category and rank them by votes on launch day, which tells you what’s popular but not what fixes your problem. OpenBeta works the other way round. It maps over 200 products launched in the last 12 months to 31 everyday business problems, such as late-paying clients, slow client reports or leads going cold, and compares the tools on each problem page by price for your team size, free plan, who they’re built for and who they’re not for. There are also head-to-head comparisons and “alternatives to” guides for big names like PandaDoc, HoneyBook and AgencyAnalytics.

For founders, OpenBeta is a 30-day launch instead of a 24-hour one. Listing is free: AI drafts your product page from your website in about a minute, your product appears on the problem pages where buyers are already looking, and you see who found you and what they searched for. Rankings never depend on payment or sponsorship. Pro ($29/month) adds the full search and comparison data for founders who use OpenBeta as an ongoing channel.
