Our take
Pick Little Snitch if mac users who will buy Single US$59 after they inspect a first App Store hop — then Family US$115 for a household, not Tailscale Personal $0 first unless they want a mesh VPN, and not if they need Windows or an inbound IDS. Pick Micro Snitch if privacy-minded Mac users who will pay $3.99 — not Little Snitch’s network rules first.
