Heads up - IIRC ADSB-exchange was sold out, an alternative might be adsb.fi

Regardless you can send your ADS-B data to all of them - ADSB-exchange, adsb.fi, flightradar, flightaware, etc.

That way you get all of the benefits and contribute community data.

The ADS-B Exchange situation is more complicated than it "was sold out," and there are valid reasons for not wanting to use them–but it is still the most comprehensive source of uncensored flight tracking data.

aiui there was some kerfuffle over adsb.fi DNS ownership - I think https://airplanes.live is where the OSS community gravitated.
