Alternative app stores enable app developers to reach new and untapped audiences, especially in regions where OEMs hold substantial market shares. They provide less crowded spaces than Google Play or Apple’s App Store, which can lead to higher visibility, increased downloads, and improved app retention. Additionally, they offer more options for payment and billing flexibility, which can be beneficial for monetizing apps effectively.
