Before you choose

Start with your operating system

Check that a tool supports the platform you use. The list covers macOS, Windows, Linux, self-hosted options, APIs, and an extension; support differs by tool.

Check how you can try it

A free plan and a free trial are different ways to try software. Check which option is offered, and look at the listed paid starting price if you may need a paid plan.

Pricing notes include different currencies and billing terms, so compare the terms shown for the tool you are considering.

Match the controls to your workflow

Compare maximum displays, layout presets, application rules, window grouping, and virtual desktop controls. Prioritize the controls you need rather than assuming a tool supports them all.

Consider open-source availability

If access to or changes to the code matter to you, check whether the tool is open source and review its licence. A free plan does not by itself mean software is open source.
