Hello mam
Yes, sugar-free sweeteners can be used as an alternative to regular or brown sugar, particularly if you are trying to reduce sugar intake. They are generally safe when consumed within recommended limits. However, it is better to gradually reduce your preference for sweetness overall rather than relying heavily on sweeteners
For further evaluation and guidance, you may consult me through Practo

Stevia → sweet compounds (steviol glycosides) extracted and purified from Stevia rebaudiana leaves.
Sucralose → made by chemically modifying sucrose so that some hydroxyl groups are replaced with chlorine atoms. It is ~600× sweeter than sucrose.
Saccharin → a synthetic sweetener, structurally unrelated to sucrose.
Aspartame → made from two amino-acid derivatives; ~200× sweeter than sucrose.
Sugar alcohols such as erythritol/xylitol → carbohydrates with different chemical structures and generally lower glycemic effects.
Basically it's depends on it

Sugar-free sweeteners are acceptable in small amounts, but they are not automatically healthier and can maintain a preference for sweetness. Water, unsweetened tea and whole foods are better daily choices. If you use one, follow the label dose and stop if it causes bloating or loose stools. For advice based on your weight or sugar history, book a Practo consult or visit Synergy Multispeciality Hospital, Miraj.

Sugar free sweeteners are generally fine as an occasional swap for white or brown sugar, and most people tolerate them well in normal amounts.
Next Steps
If you use them daily, stick to one type and check the label for the recommended daily amount.

Sugar free sweeteners can be taken but only in small amounts as they can increase risk of cancer
Sweeteners such as sugar, brown sugar, jaggery, honey, etc are equally harmful
Monk fruit sweetener is a natural sweetener which can be taken without the risk of hyperglycemia or cancer but some brands are mixing it with chemicals such as erythritol which is not good for heart health
So it is advised to not consume anything without consulting
