The open alternatives don't have particularly good UIs which was a massive perk of GitKraken.
These days I rely heavily on the Git UI within jetbrains various IDEs. If you're working on open source projects then you can get a free license. Or they do educational discounts. If you're using it commercially then it's going to be roughly the same price as for Kraken but you get a best in class IDE included...
Jetbrains products also have a fallback license after a year, so you retain perpetual acces to an old version* and I don't think there is much change in the space of git UIs.
* iirc the version that you had one year before your payment lapsed, it applies to discounted versions as well
