I am looking to create similar tool to AlternativeTo. This would list different brands and why you should or should not buy them. Is there some software that would be great starting point for creating this kind of service?
I would guess wiki apps would work for this, but like wikijs, but interested to hear is the something else that could be used for this.

An example site that takes user submissions and is not a wiki:
https://github.com/nerdydaytrips/website
Users submit a form that is turned into a github PR, hosted with cloudflare worker. Site itself is completely static, made with hugo. The data about each map pin is simply key/value in the frontmatter of a markdown file:
https://github.com/NerdyDayTrips/website/blob/main/content/daytrip/eu/gb/1066-battle-of-hastings.md
Simple but effective and can be styled however you need (hugo has themes). Moderation can scale by adding more contributors who can merge PRs.
Thanks you for recommending, this looks interesting!
consumer rights wiki might be a good place to start
Thanks for sharing! This has same idea that I am have plans! IMO this shows that wiki is bit less user friendly compared to what AlternativeTo has.
Alternate to alternate to.
I used the alternate to destroy the alternate.to
I mean they already list alternatives to their site: https://alternativeto.net/software/alternativeto/ :D
Looks like the Privacy Guides website is open source. It has a recommended tools section that you can use as a starting point.
This used to exist:
