AltStore PAL launches in the EU. Riley Testut blogs about the release, including what types of apps are the best fit for AltStore:

All apps are welcome, but I believe AltStore makes the most sense for smaller, indie apps that otherwise couldn’t exist due to App Store rules. There are countless examples of these that aren’t allowed in the App Store for one reason or another; we just don’t know about them because there’s never been a distribution option for these poor apps.

It’s €1.50/year to cover Apple’s Core Technology Fee. Still hoping the EU decides the CTF is illegal.
