Correct inaccurate AlternativeTo product identity

[sridharkalaibala]

Problem

The current AlternativeTo profile for Posnic conflicts with the official product and publisher records:

• profile: https://alternativeto.net/software/posnic-billing-software/about/
• official website is listed as posnic[.]io instead of https://www.posnic.com/
• licensing is listed as proprietary/freemium instead of distinguishing Posnic-owned AGPL-3.0-only source from separately licensed package components
• platforms are listed as online/SaaS only even though Posnic publishes desktop packages for Windows, macOS, and Linux
• pricing is listed as USD 2,999 to USD 5,999 per month, which does not describe the zero-software-price local edition
• developer is listed as unknown instead of Posnic Innovations Private Limited

Observed on 2026-08-21. This issue does not request a positive review, rating, backlink, or prescribed wording.

Canonical evidence

• company and directory fields: https://www.posnic.com/about
• product facts and limitations: https://www.posnic.com/posnic-facts
• pricing boundary: https://www.posnic.com/pricing
• release packages and checksums: https://www.posnic.com/download
• source repository: https://github.com/Posnic/POS
• machine-readable identity: https://github.com/Posnic/POS/blob/main/codemeta.json
• source license: https://github.com/Posnic/POS/blob/main/LICENSE
• package notices: https://github.com/Posnic/POS/blob/main/THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md

Correction checklist

• Use an authorized, established account to propose factual edits
• Set the official website to https://www.posnic.com/
• Identify Posnic Innovations Private Limited as publisher
• Describe the desktop/local-first delivery model and supported operating systems
• Distinguish the local edition from optional Posnic Cloud services
• Preserve the source/package license boundary
• Remove the unsupported USD 2,999 to USD 5,999 monthly range
• Record the public corrected URL and review date here

Do not add the profile to Organization sameAs until its identity fields are accurate and publicly verified.

Subject: Owner access and factual corrections for Posnic on AlternativeTo

Hello AlternativeTo team,

I represent Posnic Innovations Private Limited, publisher of Posnic POS. My AlternativeTo username is ACCOUNT_USERNAME. Please grant owner/admin access for https://alternativeto.net/software/posnic-billing-software/about/ so we can correct its factual product information.

The current profile points to posnic[.]io, lists an unknown developer, describes Posnic as proprietary/freemium and SaaS-only, and shows USD 2,999 to USD 5,999 per month. Those fields conflict with the current official product.

Live profile recheck: 11 September 2026

The public AlternativeTo profile remains uncorrected:

• Official Website still links to posnic[.]io (retired) and displays posnic[.]io instead of https://www.posnic.com/.
• Cost / License still says Freemium (Subscription) and Proprietary.
• Platforms still list only Online and Software as a Service (SaaS).
• Developed by still says Unknown.
• Pricing still claims $2999 to $5999 per month.
• The product description still presents Posnic as cloud-based and makes unsupported multi-store and anywhere-management claims.

Current public profile: https://alternativeto.net/software/posnic-billing-software/about/

The correction checklist and owner-ready email above remain current. This is a factual status recheck only; no rating, review, endorsement, or backlink is claimed. The issue should remain open until an authorized account submits the corrections and the rendered profile is independently verified.
