Mission Control Plus adds a close button and keyboard shortcuts to the Mac's Mission Control view. It's about $10 for 5 Macs with a 10-day trial. It does one job, needs Accessibility access, and the page's price comes from a checkout script. - **Value for money: B.** US$10.07 for one license across 5 Macs, as the page's script shows it. That's below the $16 middle of one-time prices in this category. - **Free plan and trial: C.** A 10-day free trial with every feature. The page doesn't say if a card is needed, and there's no free plan. - **Features: C.** A close button, Cmd-W, Cmd-M and Cmd-Q on a window, and arrow-key moves in Mission Control. A small job it does fully, and it doesn't arrange windows. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. It needs Accessibility access turned on before the close button appears. - **Platforms and integrations: D.** Mac only, on macOS 12 Monterey or later. Setapp is the only integration listed.

The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/window-managers ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace Mission Control Plus you would be making control over other apps' windows. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 25 of the 28 other window managers and launchers grade higher. - You could not: Control over other apps' windows. - You could not: A real app for macOS. Something home-made would be a web page. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool.
