How to use this project

Recommended path

Name the problem — billing chaos, tour no-shows, Wi-Fi complaints, SOP drift, etc.
Pick your role lens — by role or by problem.
Shortlist 2–4 tools in the directory with filters for license class and deployment.
Read license class carefully — especially source-available, fair-code, and open-core.
Run the smallest useful experiment on the tool page before a multi-month rollout.
Check data, backups, and offboarding — if you cannot export and restore, you do not own the process.
Prefer a reference stack over random apps that never integrate.

What “verified” means here

Each catalog entry has a verification block with a date and sources. Fields may still be partially verified: for example, we confirm a project is AGPL from its repository LICENSE file, but we do not scrape live pricing tables into the catalog as hard numbers.

When something cannot be confirmed, the entry says so. Re-check official pages before production decisions.

What this project is not

Not a managed coworking platform
Not legal, tax, or compliance advice (disclaimer)
Not a dump of upstream source code
Not a ranking you should treat as gospel—rank_score is editorial prioritization for guides, not a quality certificate
