How many people bookmarked its code on GitHub. It shows how popular it is, not how good it is or how well it replaces the app.
How hard it is to start using it. Easy: install it like a normal app, or use it in your browser. Advanced: you run it on your own server, use the command line, or it is a tool for developers.
Its code changed within the last year, so someone is still looking after it.
Does the whole job.
Ordered by how fully it replaces the app, Verified, setup and, when there are enough, people's votes.

I want to pick an open-source replacement for Minitab. Below is a list from Open Source Everything (CC BY-SA 4.0), in the order its website shows it. The order is a starting point, not a verdict.
- JASP: JASP is a free statistics program for analysing data without needing to write code. It is made for students, researchers and anyone who wants to run statistical tests through a familiar point-and-click interface. [Easy setup; Windows · Mac; replaces fully; AGPL-3.0; https://github.com/jasp-stats/jasp-desktop]
- jamovi: jamovi is a free statistics program with a spreadsheet-style data editor and a range of statistical tests. It is for people who analyse data, especially those used to SPSS. [Easy setup (It has desktop installers for Windows, Mac and Linux.); Windows · Mac · Linux; replaces fully; AGPL-3.0-or-later; https://github.com/jamovi/jamovi]
- PSPP: PSPP is a free program for statistical analysis of sampled data, meant as a replacement for the paid program SPSS. It is for people who need to run statistics on their data and produce reports. [Easy setup; Linux; replaces fully; GPL-3.0; https://github.com/lemenkov/pspp]
Setup rating: "Easy setup" means you can install it like a normal app, use it in a browser. "Advanced setup" means you must run it on your own server or use the command line, or it is a tool for developers.

Before recommending anything, ask me these three questions (one at a time, in plain words): 1) Which device or devices will I use it on (Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iPhone)? 2) How comfortable am I with technical setup: only installing apps from a store, happy to follow a step-by-step guide, or comfortable with servers and the command line? 3) What is my budget: free only, or willing to pay for hosting or support? Then recommend one to three projects from this list only, and for each say why, using how fully it replaces the app, its setup rating, and the devices it runs on. If nothing on the list fits me, say so plainly instead of stretching.
