Software directory for comparing business software and downloading or hosting open source projects.
About SourceForge
SourceForge is a web-based software discovery platform with two main parts: a business software directory with user reviews and comparison tools, and an open source directory where projects can be downloaded and developed.
For buyers, the business software section lets you find, compare and review business software and IT services. For vendors, it offers a way to put products in front of software and IT buyers.
For developers, SourceForge hosts open source projects and provides tools for collaboration and distribution. The site states that it has more than 500,000 projects and over 2.1 million registered users, and that it serves more than 2.6 million downloads a day.
- Business software directory with ratings and reviews
- Open source software directory with downloads
- Project hosting and collaboration tools for developers

The site also carries a blog, a podcast, a newsletter and site documentation.
