Mosaic is a Mac app where you drag windows into layouts, with a Standard edition at £14.99 and a Pro one at £29.99, both one-time. It's priced in pounds, there's no dollar price, and the vendor says major upgrades may cost extra. - **Value for money: C.** Standard is £14.99 and Pro £29.99 one-time, roughly the middle of what one-time window tools cost. The dollar price isn't shown. - **Free plan and trial: C.** A 7-day free trial of the complete feature set. The page doesn't say if a card is needed. - **Features: B.** Drag-and-drop and custom layouts, view modes and groups, multiple displays, Pro tools and an iOS remote. Nothing in the listing shows a gap in the core job. - **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record, and building custom layouts takes some learning. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** A Mac app with an iOS remote. Setapp is also offered. No Windows or web version. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Light Pillar Software Ltd's own pages on 12 November 2026.

The category's chart of price against score: https://toolgpa.com/charts/window-managers ## Keep it, or make your own? **Keep it.** To replace Mosaic 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: 22 of the 28 other window managers and launchers grade higher. It costs $20.08, paid once. - You could not: Control over other apps' windows. - You could not: A real app for macOS. Something home-made would be a web page. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
