This table lists software replacements for Service as a Software Substitute (or SaaSS, for short).

Service as a Software Substitute means a network service that offers to do a job that ought in principle to be doable locally on your own computers(s). These jobs don't inherently depend on any network usage; indeed, involving the network in them at all is a gratuitous problem.

The right way to do such a job, the way that doesn't spy on you or take away your control of the job, is to do it in your own computer, with exclusively free software of course.

Thus, the free replacement for a SaaSS service is a free program that you can run locally to do basically the same job.
