A must have for every Mac user
I use multiple software (10+) from Setapp daily, and I like the simplicity of managing them. Before that, I had to manage them separately, including their subscription.
PROSThe most important feature I liked about Setapp is that the aggregation of many useful software under one hood and the ease of installing and uninstalling. Moreover, under one subscription, it is more cost-effective than buying all the software separately (and managing their individual subscription). With Setapp, I was able to close multiple of my existing subscriptions. Another important thing about Setapp is it helps you discover new and useful software, and since it is anyways part of the subscription, you don't mind trying it out and seeing if works for you right from inside setup instead of going to the website, may be filling a form and then trying it out.
CONSNothing I can think of. This is one of its kind for Mac and has been very useful for me so far.

Great and continuously updated of software bundle
We've been using Setapp for nearly a year now in our company and they really deliver on their promises. My team happily uses the big selection of apps (there is something for everyone) and we are always eager to check out the new apps that pop up every few weeks. Generally the apps are of high quality, but some haven't been updated in while and a few are very bare bones. They conducted customer research sessions with me and took all my feedback seriously - they really care for their users. Overall really good value for the price point.
PROS- Contains many high quality apps - Pricing is very reasonable - Includes iOS and Mac apps - Mac app is nicely done - Great customer support
CONS- Some apps haven't been updated in a while - Would be great to have a roadmap of what's to come (apps, features) in the future - No Android apps for now - Setapp Mac app sometimes uses too many system resources in the background - Few low quality apps - Switching existing users from one organisation to another can be a bit fiddly
Reason for choosing Setapp
I am not aware of similar offerings

A Convenient App Subscription Service with Room for Improvement
Setapp has been a valuable service for me, offering a wide range of apps and easy access in one place. However, the reliance on an internet connection for the apps to work can be inconvenient. If this issue were addressed, Setapp would be near perfect for my needs.
PROSExtensive app library covering various categoriesConvenient access to multiple apps in one placeReasonable subscription pricingThe diverse range of apps available has helped me discover new tools and streamline my workflow.The platform is user-friendly and easy to navigate.Integration with my existing business needs has been smooth.
CONSThe need for an internet connection for the apps to work due to the background daemon.Are there features you feel are missing or could be improved?An alternative subscription validation method, such as a session validation token, would be a welcome improvement.No difficulty with product usage or integration.
Reason for choosing Setapp
It included a bundled access for many categories of apps which included most of my needs

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.

SetApp is awesome
Wonderful! It was great from the beginning and I am constantly surprised by the new app offerings that they have. I use it all the time and I will support this company as much as I can. Go team!
PROSI was one of the first to get setapp and I have been in love with it since the start. They update their library regularly and they partner with companies that make the service a staple of my software library.
CONSI’m a bit old school and miss the days where I can buy software once and then I can have it forever. Setapp is a subscription based service and if you stop paying them all of the apps that you’ve been using are no longer available to use.

Incredible value for money
I first discovered SetApp while looking for a system cleaner for my Mac. I realised that it would be cheaper to get Clean My Mac X as part of the SetApp subscription, than buying it standalone. I didn't really expect to use any of the other software, but now that I'm a subscriber I use SO many of them. The value for money with SetApp is outstanding - I get a VPN, a system cleaner, a data recovery tool and so, so much more. I can see myself being a subscriber for a long, long time.
PROSI doubt a better value-for-money software subscription service exists on the planet. Many of the platforms included cost more than the $10 a month fee alone, so considering there are well over 100 different softwares included, it's a no brainer. Standout software for me is Clean My Mac X, a fantastic system cleaner, and some of the utilities (Cleanshot, Meeter, Gemini etc).
CONSI had some issues with some of the software, especially ClearVPN, and was also accidentally charge twice for my first month. These were minor issues however, and SetApp's fantastic support got me up and running and refunded the money very quickly.

The Timing App is Worth The Cost of Subscription
Ulysses, Paste, Timing, Cleanshot are the must have apps in this suite.
PROSThe amount of software in the software is significant. The timing app along is worth the cost of admission.
CONSLicensing across most of my devices gets tedious. Can get more expensive with multiple devices. The usefulness of 60% of the software on here is questionable and looks to only be added to increase the software number.

A Toolbox that Keeps On Giving
Setapp gives me apps I didn't know I needed; I encounter an new workflow challenge or need to adapt a process, I open Setapp, and discover a product that does what I need. A few clicks, the app is installed and I'm ready to get productive.
CONSThe only thing I wish could be better about Setapp is about new apps; it would be great it Setapp would recommend their new app offerings to users, based on what apps we already use.

Incredible, growing collection of apps for a flat rate - great way to save some $
Setapp is always my first stop when looking for an app that I need. They've curated an incredible assortment of apps, and there is literally something in their library for pretty much anything you need to do on your mac. At one flat subscription for all apps, this is one of the best deals out there, especially for small business owners still developing workflows and infrastructure.
CONSHard to think of anything I don't like. Some of the apps have an update process that's a bit more cumbersome than something you might purchase in the app store, but when I've run into this, the customer support for those apps has been very helpful.

Très utile pour éviter de payer de nombreux abonnements de logiciels, grand catalogue
Je n'ai plus besoin de rechercher et d'acheter individuellement des applications. Je peux accéder à un grand nombre d'applications populaires et bien conçues grâce à un abonnement mensuel.Toutes les applications sur Setapp sont sans publicité, sans achat intégré et sans logiciel malveillant, ce qui garantit une expérience utilisateur sûre et agréable.
CONSLe prix mensuel est peut-être un peu élevé.

Une solution intéressante pour découvrir de nouveaux logiciels
Un catalogue d'applications variés et professionnels. Il existe presque un logiciel pour tout faire, c'est donc idéal pour tester régulièrement des nouveautés. De plus il est possible de profiter de certains logiciels également sur son iOS.
CONSLe prix reste relativement élevé surtout qu'il faut rajouter un supplément pour profiter des applications sur mobile.

Great value for the small price (but only if you get used to it)
Overall — I loved the ability to get an app that I need at a particular moment very quickly. I enjoyed it while I was using it. And if it wasn't for the lack of apps that I do find on the MacAppStore or very "niche" oriented (they are important in my workflow) — I would definitely continue as a paid subscriber. You have to try it for yourself and see if Setapp has you covered.
PROSSetapp was very easy to install and start-up. It was a simple process when I needed to add more team members to our account. Getting the desired apps from their collection feels "integrated" and natural in a sense. Doesn't feel like you have to go through too many cluttered steps in order to get your solution.
CONSThe lack of apps that I truly want to see, and that I use daily — they are not there. Though, this is definitely subjective, and you have you try it on your own to see if the existing collection fits your daily/weekly needs.
