The most amazing value for the money you can get
I solve so many personal and business problems using the apps from Setapp that it would be a novel-length review. It is 100,000% worth it.
PROSThere are zillions of apps available on Setapp, and you get them all for a single price. Honestly, the price of Setapp is about the same as one single app. It's an amazing value, and there's such a wide variety of apps that any Mac user will find plenty of apps they'll use. It's a subscription service I don't want to be without.
CONSThere really isn't anything not to like, really. The only downside is that there are SO MANY apps you might need to take quite a bit of time to determine which apps will be useful to you.

Great Option if you are using or planning to use the software they offer anyway
Setting up Setapp (what a terrible way to start a sentence!) was as simple as downloading the app and installing it on MacOS like any other software and signing up with their service like you would with any other web service. They have lots of ways to pay, giving you options there too. Installing an iOS app offered by Setapp is also straight forward - they guide you through this process from the MacOS app.
PROSSetapp has a great selection of software. It functions like an alternative App Store for MacOS, but even has some apps on offer for iOS. There are regularly new apps added and most are high quality polished offers.
CONSMost of the offers are paid apps that I used to buy directly from the developers. A number have switched to subscriptions. Setapp bundles those into one subscription, and depending on what software offers you use or plan to use this can save you a lot of dough. I figured out I could save money with this service. I use timing for tracking my working hours and rely on a VPN on my travels, both are included in Setapp and in the end I am spending less money on the same (or similar) functions in more areas than these two applications.
Reasons for switching to Setapp
In the end it turned out to save me money to use the Setapp subscription rather than pay for a number of individual ones.

Very innovative app with some gems available.
Great tools, fair price and innovative business model.
PROS- Great number of apps to chose from - very easy to use and to install apps. - handy way to have apps on multiple devices. - A few apps are really high quality.
CONS- Many apps are not that useful or very niche, and they vary in quality. - Unless you are using a handful of apps regularly, you are better off just buying the individual apps that you need. - It could be an amazing service if there were fewer, but higher quality apps. - Support is not always helpful.

The best Mac apps for 1 price
Setapp has been truly life changing for our team. It helps keeps cost manageable while giving us access to some of the highest quality products out there.
PROSI've been a longgg time user of Setapp and it's the best-kept-secret-that-is-not-a-secret out there for Mac users. You pay a single subscription and get access to all of the best Mac apps out there. This makes it easy for us to give our team the software tools they need to do their job and ensure they have the best (and most handy) of what's out there. They have everything from meeting software to note taking apps to calendar apps to cleaning apps and more. Setapp is a must have for anyone on a Mac.
CONSInstalling apps through Setapp can be a bit confusing at first since they're installed to your machine, but through a 3rd party and you're only technically licensing them. Not much a hurdle, but it's a real one.
