Our take
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 and iCloud sync. Pick Swish if mac trackpad users who will finish the trial then buy US$16 to Activate a first dock app — not Rectangle Free first unless they want keyboard snaps, and not if they need a tiling WM.
