What is the best alternative to Kickstarter?

It depends on the audience you want. Indiegogo is the closest match for backers looking for new physical and creative products, while Chrome Web Store is a good second option for chrome users looking for extensions.

Is Kickstarter still worth using?

Hardware, consumer products and creative projects. It costs paid and the public listing is nofollow. Use it when that audience matches yours.

Are these alternatives free?

Most have a free option. BetaPage, Shopify App Store, SideProjectors all offer a free or freemium listing. Confirm current pricing on each platform before submitting.
