Our take
Pick AeroSpace if mac users who will stay on Free / MIT while they tile a first Finder + Terminal split — then keep it at $0, not Magnet $4.99 first unless they want App Store snap quarters, and not if they need a finished 1.0 (this is public beta). Pick Rectangle if mac users on macOS 14+ who will stay on Free OSS at $0 while they snap a first Top Left, then Pro if they want the window throw — not Pro first unless
