About Science & Research
Science & Research is where Alternative Biz collects products and businesses built for people who test, measure and publish. Lab software, reference managers, biotech services and public datasets all sit here, each with a profile that shows what it does and what it can stand in for.
Start with the search box. Type the tool you already use, or the one you are thinking of buying, and read the alternatives next to it. Use the reviews from other founders to see what the community thinks of each option. Listings appear newest first by default, and you can sort by community votes instead. Votes can never be bought, so the order reflects real opinion.
Every listing has one main category. Pick a subcategory below to narrow the list, then use the filters to compare options that fit your field, your budget and the way your team works.

Science & Research: questions answered
- What belongs in Science & Research?
- Products and businesses that support scientific work: software for running studies, services from biotech firms, tools for academics, and open datasets. If a team in a lab, a university or a research group would use it, it fits here.
- How do I choose between the subcategories?
- Go by the main job. Research tools suit day-to-day analysis and lab work, Biotech suits life-science products and services, Academic tools suit writing, teaching and publishing, and Open data suits shared datasets. Pick the closest match.
- How do I get my product listed here?
- Go to /submit and paste your website address. An AI drafts the profile from your site, and you check and edit every field before anything goes live. You choose one main category, included free. A paid launch costs $5.
- Can a listing appear in more than one category?
- Each listing has one main category, chosen at submission and included free. A paid upgrade adds up to 3 more categories for $5, which helps if your product spans, say, biotech and open data.
- What should I compare when weighing research alternatives?
- Check how well it handles your data formats, whether results can be exported and reproduced, and how easily colleagues can collaborate. Read the community reviews for patterns, and note what the tool does not cover before you switch.
