Pick BetterTouchTool if mac users who will run the 45-day trial while they bind a first circle gesture — then Standard at ~$15 (2-year updates) or Lifetime at ~$25, not Raycast Pro $10 first unless they want a launcher. 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 they need custom snap targets
