  I love yay[1]. It has few dependencies, integrates well with pacman, has a useful search function, and is incredibly easy to use. I recommend using the binary version (yay-bin[2]) available in the AUR since it doesn't require compilation and has the fewest dependencies of any AUR helper.

  I like and use auracle. It's basically a rewrite / redo of cower, the core of pacaur, by the same developer. Pacaur was the most popular alternative to Yaourt, but is now discontinued.
