Our take
Pick SoundSource if mac users who will buy the US$49 license after they route a first Safari 75% / Spotify→HomePod row — not Bartender $24.99 first unless they only need menu-bar hiding, and not if they need Windows or a full DAW. Pick Stats if mac users who will stay on the MIT binary at $0 while they open a first Battery 80% popup — not a remote dashboard first, and not Alfred Powerpack unless they need a launcher.
