I've not installed Foot myself yet (on the todo list today) but I don't think either Alacritty or Kitty support the Sixel interface itself.
Kitty supports images via a custom API. There's loads of really cool plugins for it but what's interesting about Sixel support is that it's a standard, even if it's primitive.
I'm not sure that Alacitty can support images or, at least, I couldn't see that reported anywhere (it's been a while since I ran it myself).
In terms of performance Foot seems to compare well to both[1].
