AquaSnap vs komorebi

AquaSnap is a Windows utility for arranging desktop windows through docking, tiling, snapping, and grouped movement. Drag a window to a screen edge or corner to resize it to half or a quarter of the screen. When two windows are side by side, holding Ctrl while resizing one also adjusts the other. Windows can snap together, and double-clicking an edge maximizes the window in that direction. Holding Ctrl while moving a window carries its adjacent group along. Mouse and keyboard shortcuts are customizable; mouse shortcuts offer 15 clickable areas and up to five mouse buttons. AquaSnap also works with TidyTabs, so tabbed groups can be docked, tiled, and snapped. The product lists 64-bit support from Windows 7 through Windows 11, plus a portable version that can run from a USB stick without installation. The free Personal Freeware plan is for personal use only. The Standard License costs $29 as a one-time purchase for one computer and is a lifetime license valid for future versions. The Site License costs $899 as a one-time purchase for unlimited computers at one physical location.

komorebi is a tiling window manager for Windows and macOS for arranging application windows and controlling virtual workspaces and display monitors. Users set configurable layouts for windows within workspaces and control the software through a command-line interface that can work with any hotkey software. It responds to operating-system events and messages on a dedicated socket rather than handling keyboard or mouse inputs directly. Installation options include Scoop and WinGet on Windows, Homebrew and Nix on macOS, or building from source on either platform. Personal use is permitted, but redistribution and distribution of derivative works are restricted. Using komorebi at work requires an Individual Commercial Use License, valid for the licensed individual while the paid subscription is active. A single-platform license costs $10 a month for Windows or macOS; a Windows-and-macOS license costs $15 a month. Early access nightly releases for Mac are available to GitHub Sponsors on the $10/month tier. The project lists Discord for discussion, help and troubleshooting.
