Is there something similar to the iOS Developer Enterprise Program for Windows Phone 8 apps?

Your Windows Phone 8.1 device should continue to work after July 11, 2017, but there will be no updates after July 11, 2017 (including security updates) and device backup functionality and other backend services will be phased out as described above.
But with over 300,000 entries now in the Windows Phone store, it's hard to complain about a dearth of apps.
The Windows Phone Store provides access to the latest music, apps, games and more to all Microsoft account holders. To access, tap the Windows Store tile. Note: For more information or support, please see Microsoft's Windows Phone Store site.
Yes, you can join the enterprise program by signing up for a Company account in the Windows Phone Dev Center. The process is called Company App Distribution.
In a nutshell, once your company account has been verified, you'll receive an ID that you'll provide to Symantec, who will generate an Enterprise Mobile Code Signing Certificate. You'll use this certificate to generate a token (that devices use to identify themselves with your enterprise) and to sign applications. The token and the apps can be distributed via e-mail, browser, MDM, or Company Hub.
E-mail and browser distribution are straight-forward, MDM occurs through a device management system such as Windows InTune. Company Hub is an on-device application that your organization develops for in-house application discovery, installation, and launch.
See the Windows Phone 8: Enterprise Development talk from the //Build/ conference for more information.
