Setapp - amazing suite of apps and amazing value

CleanMyMac is invaluable on my Mac, keeping my systems nice and fast. This app is $89 to buy outright alone.

Pros:

Setapp is unbelievable. For $9.99, you get access to around 250 apps. These are high-value apps from reputable companies and are sold for a lot of money in their own right. From Setapp, I use CleanMyMac, TextSniper, SideNotes, Dropzone, Pagico, Ulysses, etc..

Cons:

There are too many apps to choose from, I would say. Like a kid in a toy-store.

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.

Pros:

Setapp 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.

Cons:

Most 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.

Thank you!

No customer service

I've had years of great experience with Setapp apps, but their customer service is severly lacking. Overcharging and a lack of response to a request to review meant I had to block my accounts with setapp. I will miss the apps.

Pros:

The apps are great, and they are easy to install - used this for years and installed a number of the apps which I will miss now that I've had to cancel my subscription due to poor customer service and overcharging.

Cons:

Had to stop using this when a billing issue (they were charging us for three services when we only used one) was not handled by them. In fact, they just stopped responding to the support thread and so I had to block them on my card to stop them from overcharging me.

Vendor Response

Hello Craig, Thank you for sharing feedback about your experience with Setapp. While we appreciate your recognition of the great apps and your overall positive experience, we need to address some inaccuracies in your review. When you contacted us in 2023 about the billing issues, we provided a detailed explanation, clarifying that the two charges were linked to two different accounts you had created. It's important to note that Setapp does not limit the number of accounts a user can create. At that time, you confirmed that the issue was resolved. When you reached out again in 2025, we explained the situation, and you acknowledged that we addressed the issues satisfactorily via the Zendesk ticketing system. We think it's important that customer reviews truly reflect the service experience. Since your feedback does not accurately represent our interactions, we kindly ask you to update your review to show the actual resolution we provided and the prompt communication from our support team

The Swiss army knife of apps

I wouldn't want to work on any Mac (or computer at all) without access to Setapp. It is simply the best money you can spend on software.

Pros:

Where to start? You get more than a hundred top-rated apps, curated by experts as well as users, available for a very reasonable monthly subscription. If you own a Mac and run any kind of business,are a student or a developer, you will find a full suite of practically everything you will need sans the full Office or iWork (Keynote etc.) packages. And if the app has an iOS version, odds are that it is included as well.

Cons:

I haven't really found anything not to like. Th service could be expanded with more how-to's and ideas for combining apps in an efficient manner, but that is really outside the price range that Setapp has placed itself in.

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.

Pros:

There 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.

Cons:

There 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.

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.

Ease of use

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

The 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.

Cons:

Nothing I can think of. This is one of its kind for Mac and has been very useful for me so far.

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.

Pros:

I 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).

Cons:

I 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.
