Our take
Pick Homerow if mac users who will finish the trial then buy US$49.99 to label-click a first GitHub control — not Raycast Pro $10 first unless they want a launcher, and not if they need Windows. Pick Raycast if mac or Windows users who will stay on Free at $0 (launcher + File Search + community extensions; no AI credits) while they open a first .heic list, then Pro at $10/month when they want AI Chat — not Plus $20
