- [TestFlight Alternative for Sharing iOS Test Builds](https://buildferry.app/testflight-alternative.md): Send iOS builds with one link instead of TestFlight. No tester app, no Beta App Review and nothing to rebuild. See when each one is the right choice.
- [Diawi Alternative That Handles UDIDs and Signing](https://buildferry.app/diawi-alternative.md): Diawi hosts your .ipa, but you still collect UDIDs and rebuild profiles. BuildFerry registers each iPhone and signs the build for you, with no Mac.
- [BetaDrop Alternative: Share iOS Builds Without Managing UDIDs](https://buildferry.app/betadrop-alternative.md): BetaDrop hosts signed builds and lists your testers’ UDIDs. BuildFerry goes further: it registers each iPhone with Apple and re-signs the build, so new testers install from the same link.
- [App Center Distribute Alternative for iOS: Auto Device Provisioning](https://buildferry.app/app-center-alternative.md): Visual Studio App Center retired in March 2025, and with it the auto-provisioning that registered testers’ iPhones and re-signed builds. BuildFerry brings that back for iOS.
- [Firebase App Distribution Alternative for iOS Ad Hoc Builds](https://buildferry.app/firebase-app-distribution-alternative.md): Firebase collects testers’ UDIDs but leaves you to register them, update the profile and rebuild. BuildFerry does those steps for you, with no Mac and no new upload.
- [InstallOnAir Alternative With Links That Don’t Expire](https://buildferry.app/installonair-alternative.md): InstallOnAir links expire after a week unless you pay per build, and new testers still need a rebuild. BuildFerry keeps one link per app and signs for each new iPhone.
- [TestApp.io Alternative for Small iOS Teams](https://buildferry.app/testapp-io-alternative.md): TestApp.io adds tasks, Jira and Linear on top of app distribution. If you just need testers on your iOS build, BuildFerry is simpler and registers each iPhone for you.
- [The Best TestFlight Alternatives in 2026, Compared](https://buildferry.app/best-testflight-alternatives.md): Eight ways to get an iOS build onto testers’ iPhones without TestFlight, compared on UDIDs, signing, link lifetime, Android and price.
- [TestFlight vs Ad Hoc Distribution: Which Should You Use?](https://buildferry.app/testflight-vs-ad-hoc-distribution.md): TestFlight and ad hoc distribution both get beta builds onto iPhones. Here are the differences in review, tester limits, build expiry and setup, and when to use each.
