Pro Comprehensive
Full website with lots of content, info, users, comments, etc. Value for free.

Cons
Con Need for registration or login via provider like github?
Before you can see the informations, you need to register an account or log in using services like github or google (oauth).
Con Limited details available on the site itself
AlternativeTo excels at showing you options, however it doesn't really tell you why one option is better/worse than another. It lists options by the number of likes it has received, but to directly compare the options is relatively hard to do.
