Give it a test drive. I've been a past Alfred user, and I think Raycast is better on pretty much every metric.

Without knowing what you value about Alfred, there could be a million different things one could argue on.

I'm a pretty happy Alfred user and the only thing keeping me off of Raycast is the VC funding, the AI-down-throat shoving, and I prefer Alfred's licensing scheme. Over 90% of my Alfred usage is to quickly Kagi search something, access clipboard history, or launch an app. I'm by no means a power user, and likely the new Spotlight in macOS 26 could meet my needs, but Alfred just keeps chugging away.
