The best way to find a similar website to the page or website you have opened is SimilarSites. It is one of the best tools available in the market right now. It is powered by SimilarWeb, which you might have used to check the traffic information for a website.
There are two ways you can use SimilarSites to find similar websites- by either visiting SimilarSites.com or adding its Chrome Extension.

SimilarWeb Chrome Extension
As I mentioned earlier, SimilarWeb also has a Chrome Extension to find alternative websites. You can click here to add the extension from Chrome Web Store directly. Once you have added the extension, follow the below steps to find websites related to its niche or category.
