MacPip lists 4 Rectangle alternatives for Mac, and a person has checked none of them yet.1 of them has a free version.All of them sell a one-time license.There is no single best Rectangle alternative for everyone, so MacPip does not rank them.If you want it free, start with Quilt.
Apps a person checked come first, newest check first. Never ordered by payment.

AI agent alerts, clipboard and windows in your Mac's notch
From its maker: Toolnotch turns the MacBook notch into small tools that show up when you need them. One app instead of five menu bar icons.
A Mac app that arranges your windows automatically.
From its maker: A Mac app that arranges your windows automatically. A new window takes the next free tile, and when one closes the rest fill the space.
Shoji splits each monitor into zones you draw.
Made by Guido CregoWebsiteOn XFrom its maker: Shoji splits each monitor into zones you draw. Drag a window over one and it snaps into place.
The Mac window manager where nothing ever shrinks
Ribbon is a scrolling window manager built around one promise: nothing ever shrinks. Windows sit side by side on a strip past the edges of the screen, and a swipe slides the next one in at full size.
It works with trackpad gestures, keyboard arrows and the mouse, and warns you if another app already owns the same swipe. No account, no subscription: $15 once for up to 3 Macs, with a 7-day trial and a 10-day refund. It needs macOS 14 or later, and its maker names Rectangle and Magnet as the apps it replaces.
Each of these is named by its own maker as an alternative to Rectangle. That is the maker's claim, so check that it does the part of Rectangle you use.
There is no single best one for everyone. MacPip lists 4: Toolnotch, Quilt, Shoji, Ribbon. If you want it free, look at Quilt. If you would rather pay once than subscribe, look at Toolnotch. If you want it to run natively on Apple silicon, look at Ribbon. If you need it to work offline, as its maker says it does, look at Shoji.
Yes. With a free version on MacPip: Quilt.
With a one-time option, so you can avoid a subscription: Toolnotch, Quilt, Shoji, Ribbon.
By their makers' word or by our check: Toolnotch, Shoji, Ribbon.
None yet. They say Check pending until a person tries them.
Apps a person has checked come first, newest check first, then the rest by when they were added. Payment never changes the order, and sponsored rows are labeled and kept apart.
