Lattika vs Rectangle

Rectangle is a free, open-source app that puts windows on halves, thirds and quarters with keyboard shortcuts or by dragging to the screen edges. Rectangle Pro adds snap targets anywhere, your own sizes, workspaces and iCloud sync. Lattika starts from the other end: you draw a layout of zones for each display and drop windows into it.

Lattika may suit you better if
