Our take
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 unless they need advanced models, and not Max $50 unless they need the top credit grant. Pick Warp if developers who live in a terminal and want an included monthly agent-usage allowance.
