Buy once instead of Raycast Pro
3 apps in the directory cover what people use Raycast Pro for. Each one is a one-time purchase.
Raycast Pro costs about $96 a year. At that rate Paste, the cheapest dollar-priced replacement at $89.99, pays for itself in 11 months.
Read the catch on each one before you switch — a one-time price is not automatically the better deal, and we say so where it is not.
