SimilarSites is a tool that helps you find websites or apps similar in topic to a specified one. You can use it on the web via similarsites.com, install it as a browser extension, or use it on mobile.

• Easy to Get Started: Visit similarsites.com and search for a site name or keyword to begin finding similar sites; once the browser extension is installed, simply click the extension icon while on any website to view related sites.

• Richer Result Information: Some results include brief descriptions and statistics about the site, such as global ranking and monthly visits, helping you quickly determine whether a site is worth your time.

SimilarSites can be used in the following scenarios:

• Finding Alternative Sites: For example, searching for Obsidian will surface related or alternative tools like Logseq, Trello, and Zotero.

How do you use SimilarSites?

• Web Version: Go to similarsites.com and enter a site name or keyword—such as obsidian.md, ikea, amazon—into the search box, then press Enter to see a list of similar websites.

• Browser Extension: Install the "Similar Sites – Discover Relevant Websites" extension on Chrome at https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/similar-sites-discover-re/necpbmbhhdiplmfhmjicabdeighkndkn; once installed, open any website and click the extension icon to see the list of similar sites.

• Mobile: Some Android app distribution channels offer apps like "Similarsites Browser/Plugin," typically around 6.6–6.7MB in size, mainly for recommending similar sites and making it easy to jump to them. When downloading, pay attention to the developer and permission descriptions, and choose a reputable source whenever possible.

There are also a few things to keep in mind when using SimilarSites:

• Results Are Not Exhaustive: The free page generally shows only some of the results—around 10 by default—and if you want to see more, you'll need to install the extension or subscribe to a premium service.

• Privacy and Data: Some features may use browsing behavior statistics or community data, so before installing the extension, review the permissions and privacy policy, and enable related features as needed.

• Accuracy Limits: Recommendations combine content and behavioral signals, but due to limitations in algorithms and data coverage, the results are not 100% accurate; it's recommended to apply your own judgment when filtering them.
