AltStore & SideStore

Personal Apple ID Signers
Free
Pros
Totally free and never gets revoked since you're using your own Apple ID credentials.
Cons
Max 3 apps at once and you gotta refresh every 7 days. SideStore lets you refresh on-device via a Wi-Fi VPN wrapper, but AltStore needs a PC connection unless you pay for their Patreon tier.

LiveContainer

In-App App Launcher
Bypass
Pros
Clutch workaround for the 3-app limit. It runs unlimited IPAs inside one single app slot so you don't even have to install them system-wide.
Cons
No extensions, custom widgets, or push notifications. You have to open everything straight from the LiveContainer menu.

Enterprise Certificates

Direct On-Device Installations
Public
Pros
No PC needed at all and no app limits. You can sign apps right on your phone using tools like Feather.
Cons
Super volatile. Apple always revokes these public certs, meaning your apps will instantly crash out unless you're running a DNS blocker.

Paid Developer Slots

Premium Unrestricted Access
Premium
Pros
Super stable. Gives you a full year of runtime with zero app limits and won't get randomly cooked by public bans.
Cons
Costs money. You gotta buy a slot either straight from Apple ($99/yr) or through third-party signing services.

Anti-Revoke DNS

System-Level Shields
Utility
Pros
Blocks outbound traffic to Apple's OCSP servers so your sideloaded enterprise apps don't get instantly revoked after a ban.
Cons
Must be loaded as an Encrypted DNS profile configuration in your settings and left on 24/7 or it won't do anything.

App Downgrader

Jailed App Downgraders
Utility
Pros
Allows downgrading stock App Store apps directly on non-jailbroken devices using specialized tools like PancakeStore and WaffleStore.
Cons
Requires you to manually install standalone downgraded IPAs, meaning you still need a baseline operational signer to deploy the utility tools.
