Platforms retire. Your app shouldn’t.

Honest, ranked roundups for the platforms mobile teams are leaving — because of an end-of-support deadline or because they outgrew the fit. Every option gets a genuine best-for verdict, dated pricing, and a named place where it wins. Amba appears once per roundup, held to the same standard.
