Are these copies of the original sites?

No. They are our own builds of the same idea, and we link to the original in every case so you can use whichever you prefer. Where the original is still the better version, we say so on its page.

Why build your own when the original exists?

Three reasons, usually: the original stopped being maintained, it needed a plugin or an account we did not want to ask for, or it never worked properly on a phone. If none of those apply we just link out and leave it alone.

Do the AltF versions cost anything?

No. Every experience listed here is free to open, with no account and no install.
