Distribute Android Apps Privately via Email List

Is there an easy way to privately distribute android apps? The users of the apps are not employees and I will only have their email addresses. Further the apps cannot be from "unknown sources" - I can't just email the apk.

When I looked into how to "Manage private apps in google play" the target audience seems to be enterprises where the enterprise would actually manage the devices of their employees.

It looks like it would be easy enough to create the app and assign it to an organization, but to actually manage users in the organization, the articles I have read talked about needing an enterprise mobility management (EMM) provider.

I am aware of closed testing as being one option to do something like this.

Is there an obvious way to distribute the apps that I'm missing?

Edit: The users of the apps are customers (not employees or testers)

How about Firebase App Distribution?

You only need email addresses and you can send apks or app bundle files.

Really easy and straightforward, I use it, and the Spark plan is free.
