In FreeBSD you have the same packages included as a debian, even more, and also updated to the latest version, it is the ports system.

The ports system is maintained by FreeBSD and volunteers and is also adapted to the rest of BSD flavors so you will not have software problems, basically all Linux software is available in BSD.

I will be interested in your experience switching to freebsd

I have always used both, there are times when I have lost interest in one and have returned and vice versa, although in my profession I have used both.

OpenBSD has its own ports, and NetBSD has pkgsrc. They're different systems.

Not all Linux software runs on BSD, both strive to be POSIX-compliant, but each system has its quirks, and unique kernel features (capsicum, pledge, epoll, kqueue, to name a few).

I like them all, but like FreeBSD the most. IMO it's the most well-rounded of them all.

With ports do you have to compile the apps or is similar to coppr/AUR in Linux?

Compile but it is very easy
