This highlights some good options to consider!
To throw out one more, I'm one of the developers of Buildstash, and am ex App Center user myself from back in the HockeyApp days!
We designed Buildstash to be the best possible App Center alternative which is truly cross-platform (great mobile support, but also desktop platforms, even XR, games consoles etc!) and with more ways to share builds with your team and testers, and collaborate on signing builds off before deployment etc. Please do take a look when comparing the options out there!
