SizeUp Alternatives
SizeUp is described as 'allows you to quickly position a window to fill exactly half the screen (splitscreen), a quarter of the screen (quadrant), full screen, or centered via the menu bar or configurable system-wide shortcuts (hotkeys)' and is a Window Manager in the os & utilities category. There are more than 50 alternatives to SizeUp for a variety of platforms, including Mac, Windows, Linux, KDE and PortableApps.com. The best alternative is Rectangle, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like SizeUp are AquaSnap, WindowGrid, BetterTouchTool and altdrag.
SizeUp alternatives are mainly Window Managers but may also be Gesture Control Tools. Filter by these if you want a narrower list of alternatives or looking for a specific functionality of SizeUp.

BetterTouchTool vs SizeUp opinions
ryankhartBetterTouchTool is the best alternative to SizeUp for me because I only wanted to use SizeUp for keyboard shortcuts to move windows between desktops. SizeUp it looking to be pretty dated, and requires you to release all modifier keys in order to initiate the move to a different desktop. BetterTouchTool is a behemoth app that does 100x more than what SizeUp does, but that works for me.
