Our take
Pick AltTab if mac users on macOS 12+ who will stay on Free OSS while they switch a first same-app window — then Pro at $9.99 (current major) when they want Search / extra styles, not Magnet $4.99 first unless they want snap tiles. Pick Contexts if mac users who will finish the trial then buy US$9.99 to search a first s → Safari window — not AltTab Pro $9.99 first unless they want a Windows-style thumbnail switcher,
