Panoramic stitching is one of the many functions that Affinity Photo does well. It has a one time fee of $50 and a free trial period is available. https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/photo/desktop/
While we're on the subject: If you shoot raw, would you stitch them first and then edit the whole panorama? Would you use manual exposure so that it stays the same throughout all the panorama?

I use PanoramaStudio 3.1.0 Pro which is an excellent program of moderate cost but very good results. You can view the program at: https://www.tshsoft.de/en/panostudiopro_index The program does both single row panoramic images as well as multi-row to cover wider/taller areas.

Having done a fair amount of panos/stitching I recommend having both Lightroom/Photoshop and ICE. There are times when one or the other fail to give you the results you're looking for. It's handy to be able to try the other one then. And ICE is free..
I'll be trying several...a freebie would be good as I just bought OloneoHDRengine.
I have had excellent results using Autostitch. However, I also run Lightroom and have used its panorama stitching, too. Here is an example of an Autostitch panorama: Prague pano-2.jpg by David Casteel, on Flickr
Autostitch is very easy to use, and supports multi-row stitching (but all photos must have been taken from the same point).
