About
Raycast is a macOS and Windows launcher that provides keyboard-driven access to built-in productivity tools, system actions, search, snippets, quicklinks, window management, notes, and an extension store. It also includes AI features for chat and command automation, but the core product remains a launcher and productivity layer.
The free plan is perpetual for personal use and organizational use, with concrete limits on some features. The pricing page lists 3 months of clipboard history, 5 notes, up to 5 shared commands, up to 30 shared quicklinks, up to 30 shared snippets, and 50 AI messages on the Free plan; the Team free plan is also perpetual and includes the same 3-month clipboard history plus shared collaboration limits.

Free Tier Value
Raycast’s pricing page explicitly shows a Free Forever plan and a Pro plan with AI for $8/month, plus a 14-day free trial for Pro. The free tier includes substantial functionality but is capped on AI messages (50), Notes (5), clipboard history storage (3 months), and team-sharing limits (5 commands, 30 quicklinks, 30 snippets), so this is a capped free tier rather than unbounded always-free. Because the page does not provide a concrete standalone paid price for the free-tier caps themselves, the conservative free_tier_value_usd_per_month is null; feature parity is estimated at 50% since core features are free but AI and expanded limits are gated behind Pro.
