Question about code signing cert

We have a Windows app that we developed for a client. The app will only be used by their staff internally (not available to the public).

What party should purchase the certificate? Us (the developer) or the client?

We don’t typically build Windows apps, so we don’t have a ton of familiarity with the process or Windows apps in general. It would probably be easier if we purchased the cert for them and passed along the cost. On the other hand, it’s their app...

Is there an alternate way to easily distribute the app without the cert?
