Open source is software developed for practical purposes based on collaborations of different developers. The purpose of these applications is to achieve the creation of applications with practical benefits that have access to the source code. Currently, there are some of these applications, which are very versatile and can become very functional instead of those that charge us a monthly membership to use them.
At La República we wanted to make this clear with a short list of open source software apps that can be used to perfectly replace payment solutions.

5 open source apps
HomeAssistant
This app seeks to replace Google Home. With Home Assistant you can enjoy a smart home without having to depend on Google, Amazon, Apple or others that are usually the ones that control all your devices and the data they generate. This app compatible with iOS and Android, allows you to maneuver different technological devices that you have at home.
VLC
Surely you know him. VLC is one of the open source apps that has achieved the greatest reach, as it has high support for countless formats of multimedia files, DVDs, CDs, and even transmission protocols.
Handbrake
Handbrake is an ultimate video decoder and allows conversion of video from one format to another. It should be noted that it is absolutely free and safe, in addition to being compatible with Windows, Linux and macOS.
OBS-Studio
This app is a solution for those who want to broadcast live. Despite offering a quality service, this open source app has remained free for many years. It should be noted that there is a company called Streamlabs and that it copied almost all of its features, which is why many Internet users tend to get confused and pay for the second one, without taking into account that the first one is the same and costs nothing.
blender
This is the most complete option for those looking to create 2D and 3D content. Currently, the project has benefactors like Epic Games, Ubisoft, and even the people of Khara, who used it to create Evangelion. The tool is free, open and cross-platform. Without a doubt, a good option.
