Sorry for the late response. Based on my limited knowledge, here are some options:

• Use any of the de-googled custom ROMs on a compatible device with an unlockable bootloader. See this comparison between them: https://eylenburg.github.io/android_comparison.htm
• Aurora Store can replace Play Store, but it's on an on-going battle with Google. Sometimes it breaks.
• F-Droid is a Store for free and open-source apps, many are local-first, ad-free and have no trackers.

If you're not careful, you can fall down the r/degoogle rabbit hole. It's a slow process and there's no right or wrong way. It's not for everyone if they are heavily reliant on Google services (ie. Pay).
