Default Is this alto sax or not?

I'm 99% sure that this is an alto sax. I just need this last %.

Is this true or is it a different type of saxophone?

You must be a MoonHooch fan, right ?
I'm pretty sure it's an alto sax, pretty is not 100% only almost...

Not a fan, but maybe worth becoming. One day a friend showed me a couple of their things and I liked it.
Now I'm learning drums and soon we will have a little "show what you learned" show.
I chose this song to play (actually mostly the part used in old but gold Shreksophone sfm meme), but made my own acoustic version, faster and without vocals.
What's funny is that it turned out quite similar to MoonHooch. So your comment surprised me because it sounded like you had already heard my cover. Are you a mind reader?

Well my 99% sure + yours Pretty sure > 100% sure, right?

It sounds like alto sax to me. The sax sounds a little thin and bright on the recording slightly hinting towards soprano sax I guess, but I don't believe it is, it's just regular old common or garden alto. It lacks that ever so slightly pinched nasal quality of the smaller saxes - which are much less common in pop recordings.
