There are other alternatives that are cheap or free, but I doubt any of them can beat ASIAIR for ease of use.

Funnily enough, the ASI Air Polar Alignment routine uses NINA's codebase
Because NINA is open source, ZWO took the code and used it for their device (which is platform locked in)... make of that what you will!
