    Is it really? I’d say an alternative is generally just “another option that has (more or less) the same features”. Better isn’t really implied, as that’s someone’s subjective opinion.

      why would you bother looking for an alternative with more or less the same features?

      because the implication is the app you are using now is unacceptable in some way, and the alternatives are not, hence “better”.
