A curated list of companies that offer free tools and services specifically for open source and public projects.
Awesome Open Source Supporters is a curated directory listing companies that provide their tools and services for free to open source and public projects. It helps project maintainers discover and access professional-grade resources like CI/CD, code analysis, hosting, and monitoring without cost. The list focuses on organizations with explicit commitments to the open source community, beyond standard free tiers.
Open source project maintainers, contributors, and community managers seeking free infrastructure and tooling to support their projects. It's also useful for developers evaluating services for new or existing public repositories.
It saves time by aggregating verified offers in one place, distinguishes between general free tiers and dedicated open source programs, and provides clear tagging for approval requirements. Developers choose it for its focused curation and community-driven maintenance.
