It did have some security issues at one point, but with those in the past, this Mac version is definitely worth considering as a CleanMyMac alternative.Īlthough CCleaner does have a paid version, a lot of its functionality is included in the free version. Because of these differences, making a direct comparison is difficult, but both apps did a good job.įor a long time, CCleaner was a Windows-only app, and it built up a strong reputation on that platform. And while CleanMyMac suggested clearing our 3.63GB of Spotify cache, MacKeeper skipped over it. Each app selected different types of files, however. And it includes a full VPN client as part of its subscription.Ĭomparing their cleaning functions, CleanMyMac suggested 5.02GB of junk files to remove, while MacKeeper came back with 3.28GB. Its ID Theft Guard lets you know if your email addresses are affected by data breaches. As well as keeping your apps up to date, it has a Duplicate Finder that will find unnecessary copies of files, as well as images that look similar to each other. While MacKeeper doesn’t offer these features, it has a few tricks up its sleeve that make it a great alternative to CleanMyMac. But CleanMyMac gives you a wider range of maintenance tools, a large and old file remover, a file shredder to securely delete files, and Space Lens - which creates a visual map of your Mac disk space. There’s a fair amount of overlap in functionality, but each of them also has features that the other doesn’t.īoth offer antivirus, junk file cleaning, app management, and a memory cleaner, for example. And to make things better, you can reduce this product’s price by opting for more licenses or acquiring it in valuable software bundles.Like CleanMyMac, MacKeeper is an all-in-one utility for Mac users, offering a selection of tools for cleaning, security, and optimization. It has a simple client, plenty of thorough performance boosting options (including a memory optimizer) and smaller maintenance features to repair permissions, flushing caches and many more. However, if you are willing to spend a little more money, you can get access to a champion with CleanMyMac.

ConclusionĪlthough we have a feeling that the deciding factor will be the price and how much the free versions provide, both cleaning solutions are more than capable of performing satisfactory scans and repairs on your Mac.ĬCleaner is the simpler software, but sports strong features like quick analysis and cleaning, a startup optimizer, Erase Free Space option, cookie listing, and automated browser cleaning, junk monitoring and program updating.

In order to clean more than 500MB of junk and become eligible for the 30-day money back guarantee, you have to purchase a license for $39.95 or opt for up to 5 licenses to save 55% on the purchase price. Unlike its competitor, CleanMyMac’s free version limits how much junk it will remove rather than restricting any of the features that are available. However, you can also perform individual scans that focus on a specific area, use the uninstaller, the file shredder, the extension and privacy manager to manage your system, and even undergo smaller maintenance tasks like repairing disk permissions, flushing caches or reindexing the Spotlight search app. If you want a program with brutally thorough scans, CleanMyMac is your choice: it examines virtually everything and spots every type of junk file, whether it’s produced by the system or pre-installed apps. There are myriad small touches too, such as the dashboard where you can even optimize your RAM with just a click. Aside from a versatile customer support you get an easy to use client with plenty of optimization options. CleanMyMacĬonsidered the Ferrari of Mac optimizers, CleanMyMac has everything a self-conscious Apple user needs for a clutter-free computer.
