Our take
Pick Alfred if mac users who will stay on the Free app at £0 while they launch Pixelmator Pro, then Powerpack at £34 when they need Clipboard History and Workflows — not Mega £59 first unless they want lifetime upgrades. Pick Velja if people who keep two browsers and will pay $10 so work links stay in Chrome — not Raycast Pro first unless they want a full launcher.
