How to choose

Which platforms does it need to support?

Choose an app store that supports the devices or operating systems you use. Compare its listed support for Android, web, Windows, macOS, Linux and iOS.

Does it fit my budget?

Check whether the store has a free plan and what its paid starting price is. A free plan and a free trial are different, so check which is listed.

Does it review apps before distribution?

Compare the app review details if review is important to your choice. The board also lists in-app payments, subscriptions and app analytics for comparison.

Can I distribute apps on the web?

Check the web distribution details if you need to make apps available through the web. Also confirm that the store supports the platforms your intended users rely on.

What kind of app store do I need?

Start with the store's stated purpose. For example, AltStore PAL is designed for sideloading iOS apps that may not be available in Apple's store, while Cafe Bazaar is an Android app store for apps and games.
