FancyWM vs Lasso

Both stand on window management software. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.

Lasso focuses on window placement, reusable layouts, shortcuts, and multi-monitor work on macOS. The full-featured trial and money-back guarantee reduce purchase risk, but users must install it outside the Mac App Store.
