20 best alternatives to Foursquare as of 2019 - Slant

Tripadvisor

Top Pro

High quantity of reviews

Tripadvisor lists tour options for many of the available attractions. Many of the individual tours have lots of recent reviews so you can get a better idea of what the experience will be like. See More

Top Con

Lots of sponsored content

Sponsored content such as sightseeing tours and hotels can clutter up the content users are actually searching for. See More

Top Pro

Good for food/restaurants

Tripadvisor will usually have the not-to-miss restaurants, even if they can end up being touristy. A good yelp equivalent in non-US countries. See More

Top Con

Lack of trust in reviews

There is a lot of incentive for companies to post fake reviews in order to increase their ranking/visibility. Tripadvisor does very little to catch the false reviews, so it's hard to know what's authentic and what isn't. See More

Wikitravel

Top Pro

Overview of the best/most popular attractions

Rather than give you a long list of all possible attractions, wikitravel lists only the most popular/must see spots. This saves you time when picking out quality attractions. See More

Top Con

Short descriptions

Descriptions of each attraction are often only a couple of sentences. See More

Top Pro

Doesn't look like a marketing pitch

Wikitravel, true to the format of Wikipedia, doesn't have ads, and the content isn't worded in a way that makes readers feel like they're being pitched to go somewhere by a travel agency. See More

Top Con

Limited pictures

There are very few pictures of the destination, with none (in most cases) of specific attractions. If you want to get an idea of what the attraction looks like, you'll need to find images on google or other sites. See More

Top Pro

Attractions are separated into a variety of categories

It's easy/quick to find the type of attractions that appeal to you most because of the way they are organized. "See", "Do", "Learn", "Buy" etc.. See More

Yelp

Top Pro

Large collections of candid customer photos

Lets you know what the dishes actually look like, not what it looks with an Instagram filter on. See More

Top Con

Android app lacks certain features

The iOS app allows you to use all the filters of the desktop site, but users can't sort by most reviewed or highest rating on Android devices. See More

Top Pro

Review keywords are helpful for menu must-orders

If enough people have posted reviews repeating the same key words (e.g. tiramisu), Yelp will highlight them. A good sign of something you should definitely order if it's your first time at the restaurant, or something that the restaurant does particularly well. See More

Top Con

Best Match is rarely the best match

The best match is usually the result of some continuous feedback loop of recommending the same set of restaurants to people over and over again, instead of the best restaurants in the area. See More

Top Pro

Search filters allow a lot of customization

"Most Reviewed" for popular restaurants, "Highest Ratings" for well-received restaurants, use the # of reviews the popular restaurants as an anchor for had to evaluate the restaurants with the highest ratings. For example, if popular restaurants have ~1000 reviews, then well-received restaurants with >4.5 stars and >200 reviews is pretty good. A restaurant with 5 stars an 20 reviews might not be as solid. See More

Top Con

Awkward photo presentation

They show from oldest to newest, even though the newest photos are more relevant. The desktop version of Yelp also has an old photo display system where you have to click to reveal each page of photos. See More

Top Pro

Huge repository

It's hard to find any food-related business who doesn't have a page on Yelp. (If it doesn't, that's a bad sign) See More

Top Con

Reviewers haven't always gone to the place they've reviewed

TripExpert

Top Pro

Only quality attractions are shown

Rather than provide a long list of attractions, TripExperts only show the best attractions in a specific area based on expert reviews. This makes it much faster to find quality attractions, rather than searching through hundreds of less interesting options. See More

Top Con

Only shows a few attractions for each destination

They take a "quality over quantity" approach, which results in a much smaller list of attractions than is available on many other similar sites. See More

Top Pro

Trustworthy reviewers

Rather than accept reviews from anyone, TripExpert relies on reviews from selected experts and locals. See More

gogobot

Top Pro

Detailed information on each attraction

Along with having a photo gallery, each attraction has a small description, plenty of reviews and a map. The "Tribe" feature tells you what type of travelers enjoy that attraction the most (Outdoor Enthusiasts, Local Culture, Adventure Travelers etc.). See More

Top Con

Website layout can be confusing at first

The website design is fairly crowded. With so many features available on the site, it can take some time to figure out how to navigate it. See More

Top Pro

Attractions have photo galleries

Each attraction has a photo gallery that any reviewer can add to. Many of the galleries are quite large with great pictures of the attraction, so you can get a good feel for whether or not it's something you're interested in. See More

Top Con

Lists places that are out of business

Gogobot does not keep their lists of businesses and attractions up-to-date, so some of their listings are no longer in business. See More

Top Pro

You can ask a question about your destination/attractions

gogobot has an "Ask a question" feature where you can inquire about your destination, and get answers from both locals and frequent travelers. See More

5 0

Zomato/Urbanspoon

Top Pro

Clean UI

Zomato has an easily understandable UI. See More

Top Con

Poor search algorithm

If you search sushi in New York City, the #3 result is Five Napkin Burger, which, while it serves sushi in addition to its famous burgers, is no where close to being the #3 sushi restaurant in NYC. See More

Top Con

Smaller user base

Serving much the same functionality as Yelp of crowd-sourcing restaurant reviews, the much smaller user base is a serious weakness. See More

4 0

OpenTable

Top Pro

Reservation system authenticates every reviewer

In order to write a review, you must have had gone the restaurant, and your review is marked with the exact date you went. See More

Top Con

Ratings tend to run high

The same restaurants will typically get between .5~1 points higher on open table, the audience usually gives between 4~5 stars as long as there weren't major flaws. This is partially do to the fact that service/ambiance plays a larger role in the ratings than other platforms. Since most restaurants that take reservations value service/ambiance, the ratings are skewed upwards. See More

Top Pro

Separates rating into food, service, and ambience

Allowing users to easily distinguish between fancy, but not so tasty restaurants, and vice versa. See More

Top Con

Photos are not in chronological order

They appear to be random. See More

Top Pro

Easy to find affiliated restaurants

Top Con

Low price cutoff

$50 and over is the highest price rank, which doesn't help much when comparing prices at sit-down restaurants. See More

Top Pro

Collections of customer photos

Thanks to integration with Foodspotting, there are a lot more photos than before. See More

Top Con

Limited to sit-down restaurants that take reservations

Leaving at most casual places, cafes, bakeries, etc. See More

Google Flights

Top Pro

Ability to compare price for many dates at once

You can pick the cheapest date to fly easily by comparing the different dates at once. See More

Top Con

Not able to book directly on Google Flights

You can't make a purchase/booking directly on the site. You are instead redirected to the company offering the service and must book there. See More

Top Pro

"Explore" feature helps you discover new (cheap) places to go

Google Flights offers a neat explore feature that allows you to search by dates, continents and interests to discover new destinations. See More

Top Con

Limited to flights only

Google Flights only provides information for flights, and does not include other categories that many travel search engines do (such as hotels and packages). See More

Top Pro

Supports multiple departure and destination airports in a single search

Top Pro

Train connections search and alternative route suggestions (Europe)

Google Flights allows to search for train connections and suggests when travel by train is a good alternative to air travel for your destinations. You can search train connections for 56 destinations and nearly 400 routes across Germany and Northern Europe. See More

Top Pro

Couchsurfing.com

Top Pro

Gives you a chance to talk to locals

Group members are made up of both locals and travelers. Participating in the groups gives you a chance to ask locals questions and get insider information about the best spots. See More

Top Con

No feature specifically for finding attractions

Couchsurfing does not provide a list of available attractions in various locations. The only way to discover things to do on your trip is by chatting in the groups or by sending messages. See More

Top Pro

Very friendly, welcoming community

Most people on couchsurfing are very friendly and love to chat with others. Members are often very happy to help out with suggestions. See More

Kayak

Top Con

Dishonest about prices

There are a large number of complaints against Kayak questioning their honesty. It's frequently reported that after booking on the site and enter your credit card information, you will be told to call Kayak as something went wrong. You are then given a higher rate, or sometimes charged the higher rate without being told. See More

Top Pro

Best prices

Top Con

Poor customer service

There are many negative reviews containing complaints of very rude and unhelpful Kayak customer service. See More

Top Pro

Comprehensive results

Kayak searches hundreds of travel sites to find all the possible flights to ensure you don't miss out on the best options. They have the most comprehensive results out of the competition. One of the biggest advantages of Kayak that most of their competitors don't have is the choice of where to book after you have found what flight or hotel you want. This means you are not locked into a single vendor and can compare the various booking fees etc. See More

Top Pro

"Explore" is awesome for trip planning

Kayak has a feature called "explore" that lets you answer the question "Where can I go for how much?" Explore is a fantastic tool for initially planning out your trip while finding the cheapest flights. From CN-Traveler: You punch in parameters for a trip and how much you're willing to spend to fly there, and your options magically appear on a map. You could punch in, for instance, that you want a maximum-four-hour nonstop flight in January to someplace where there's a beach and the temperature is between 70 and 90 degrees and they speak Spanish, and you don't want to spend more than $500 on airfare; Kayak will spit back your options. See More

Telegram

Top Pro

Free and convenient large file sharing

Copy/paste videos, gifs, images, geolocation, documents, and even executable files. Drag over files for practically any time up to 1.5GB in size. Images can be compressed, too. See More

Top Con

Not fully open source

Telegram has an open API and protocol free for everyone, but the backend software is not open source. Therefore 100% privacy can not be evaluated. See More

Top Pro

Privacy focused

In addition to the end-to-end encryption that provides privacy to communications, the app also includes self destructing timers for chats, and the ability to permanently delete messages, yours and theirs, from your device. See More

Top Con

Can only be used with a phone number

It is not possible to activate and use Telegram by mail etc. You need a phone number. See More

Top Pro

Free of cost

The application is available free of cost. See More

Top Con

Only "Secret Chat" messages are encrypted end to end

The only way to get end-to-end encryption (client-client) using Telegram is to use the Secret Chat function, anything through the service is server-client encrypted. Also secret chat is only implemented in the mobile apps, meaning there is no way to encrypt messages end-to-end when using the desktop client or the web browser client. See More

Top Pro

Media messaging

Videos, gifs, images, geolocation, and documents. See More

Top Con

"Secret Chat" feature is not available for desktop client

All of the user's messages can be deleted by an administrator, and they can be banned and reported as well. Supergroups can have a public link (outside of Asia, due to high spam volumes), which is also a username. See More

Top Con

Does not support spherical 360° photos

Spherical 360° photos becoming more popular these days, but Telegram does not support such format. See More

Top Pro

Two-step verification

You can set up an additional password to your account, which can be reset by your email. You don't have to use an email if you do not want to. If you lose access to your email or forget your password, you will be able to reset it via text message if your account is over seven days old and will receive it within a week (in case you recover anything before then). See More

Top Pro

Secure

Telegram uses an open source MTProto encryption protocol that provides complete end-to-end encryption for secret chats. To show off their confidence in the protocol the company behind Telegram has organized $200,000 and $300,000 challenges to break the encryption. So far there have been no winners. See More

Top Pro

Save time with inline bots and link previews

Unfortunately, on the desktop videos don't play, but images are viewable without visiting popular websites like imgur and Instagram. You can play YouTube videos and others within the app, so you don't need to embed code or anything. With inline bots, such as @gif, @pic/bing, @vid/YouTube, etc, you can look things up without leaving the client or chat that you're in. Simply type the name and some keywords and wait for the results to load. See More

Top Pro

Top Pro

Desktop app handles HIDPI

The desktop app has a built in setting to scale the UI of the app up to 200% which allows for those with 4k monitors/screens to use the app without scaling issues. See More

Top Pro

Cloud chat keys are kept in different jurisdiction

Even though encryption used for cloud-based storage (e.g. Gmail, Facebook, iCloud) may not be as secure as end-to-end encryption or zero-knowledge storage, Telegram does the most that it can by holding keys to chats in different jurisdictions, requiring intergovernmental cooperation to obtain the keys. This is aside from whatever other security measures have been taken, of course. See More

Top Pro

Customer support is within the app

Although it's volunteer based, but still pretty top-notch if available, which it tends to be. See More

Top Pro

Saved messages

You can write messages to yourself. You can write some notes, add links, and see everything across all your devices. See More

Top Pro

Top Pro

Clean, good-looking design

Google Calendar has an easy to overview interface, that doesn't overwhelm with options. It's based on Google's stock Calendar application with modifications to user interface and functionality. See More

Top Pro

Straightforward event creation

The long-press form will allow entering only the event name and assume that it's an all day event, while the plus button form allows setting the event duration as well.

Instead of a some symbolic price range, the price for a typical meal is provided. See More

Top Con

Not up to date

Post-Google acquisition, Zagat has been integrated into Google, but it's unclear where it's headed. See More

Top Con

Opaque rating system

Ratings are assigned by some number of critics/reviewers, but who and how many reviews taken into consideration aren't revealed. See More

Top Con

Confusing 30-point scale

With so many points to give, restaurants that fall below 24 all become questionable. Either that, or users are forced to convert it to a 5 point scale in their head, 24 = 4 stars, 18 = 3 stars, etc. See More

Best choice of supported cards through Google's Virtual Card system

Google has a partnership with Bancorp Bank that issues a Virtual Card to Google Wallet users that works as an intermediary between customer's card and merchant. It gives more choice in terms of compatible cards and works as a card fraud mitigation technique. See More

Slant

Top Pro

Compares options while taking context into consideration

Context such as purpose, limitations, and situations change what options should be recommended and what pros and cons should be surfaced. For example, a comparison of Linux distributions for general use and Linux distributions for development will discuss the topics in different ways. See More

Top Con

Pros and Cons don't travel from question to question

If you see a new question and choose to add an option already recommended in another question, you need to add all pros and cons from scratch. See More

Top Pro

Content can be easily kept up to date

Since anyone can edit content on the site, the pace at which information changes are reflected on the site is not arbitrarily limited by the number of writers the site has. See More

Top Pro

Unbiased information you can trust

Slant isn't financially tied to any products listed on it. All the categories (organized into 'questions'), products (organized as 'options'), and pros/cons are added, and edited by real users - there is no way for a company to pay to have a favorable review (and if they try to do it themselves, the community can report (flag) or edit any false claims. See More

Top Pro

Multiple chosen answers

Subjective questions may have more than one answer. Slant allows people to vote for more than one answer as being correct, and to append the pros and cons which influenced their decision to their vote; thus giving a context of in which situations each answer may be considered correct. See More

Top Pro

Public visibility

You do not need to have an account to view existing content (questions or answers). People can see what they're getting into before deciding if they'd like to sign up for an account and contribute to the site. See More

Top Pro

Pros and cons vs users' answers

Most Q&A sites give each user the chance to give an answer (sometimes multiple answers). A lot of the content of each user's answers will overlap, resulting in duplication of information (thus more to read), or information being lost in noise (e.g. if someone sees existing answers and adds a missing point without copying existing information, their point will likely languish at the bottom of the list of answers as it did not answer the majority of the question). Slant approaches this differently; rather than focusing on the users, it focuses on the points; Pros and Cons. Any user may amend the information in a pro/con, may vote based on how much that pro/con influenced their decision, and may add their own pros and cons if certain points are missing from the canon. See More

Top Pro

Subjective claims have to be backed up with evidence

Each subjective statement needs to be backed up with objective information. An opinion has to be backed up with facts. An evidence for a claim on Slant can be provided with examples, sources, and facts. See More

An enumeration of recommendations is easily viewed as a list, making it a good starting point for researching available options.
