10 GitHub Repos That Will Kill Your Monthly Subscriptions

ElevenLabs has a free, open-source rival that runs on your own computer, and it's one of ten GitHub projects that go up against a monthly bill: Microsoft 365, Google's 2 TB plan, Miro, Figma, Zapier, Vercel, Photoshop, CodeRabbit and Semrush. For each one you get the price it's up against and where it falls short. At the end: what free really costs, and how I'd choose.

Prices are US list prices from each company's pricing page. Google One and Figma prices are from their US pages as archived by the Wayback Machine on 23 Sep and 30 Sep 2026. Zapier Professional ($19.99) and CodeRabbit Essentials ($24 per developer) are the prices with yearly billing. Miro and Photoshop are shown without an amount. The bill of about $261 a month is an example stack: the eight prices said in the video added up ($260.97). It is not a promise of savings. Star counts are from GitHub on 1 Oct 2026. VoiceStudio's 646 languages and its speed figures, Alibaba's numbers for Open Code Review (200 pull requests, false alarms and token use against Claude Code) and the other feature lists are the projects' own claims from their READMEs and docs.
