Not every product needs a better version. But yours might.
Editor's note · The Alternative Index
How it works
Three steps, then it's yours.
Step 01
Awareness
We surface the everyday products quietly costing you more, harming your health, or sending money abroad.
Step 02
Source
We trace the better swap — verified pricing, where to buy it in Bangladesh, and who is using it.
Step 03
Produce
Over time, we partner with local makers to bring the best swaps directly to you.
