Now it’s one of the best optimizers around. Like CleanMyMac, MacKeeper provides all the essential tools you’d expect from a Mac optimizer, including junk and duplicate file removal. However, what really makes MacKeeper stand out are the extra features provided like an adblocking browser extension, identity theft protection, and even a free VPN. One unique feature of MacKeeper is that you’re assigned a personal tech expert who will help guide you through the entire process.Īll these extra features come at a cost. Prices depend on how long you want the software for – with discounts for longer plans. However, the monthly plan is quite expensive at $14.95 per month. No matter which subscription you choose, you’ll be covered by a 30-day money-back guarantee. Like CleanMyMac, there is a free version to test out, but its functions are limited. It’s difficult to choose between these two feature-filled Mac optimizers. MacKeeper certainly stands out for its dramatic improvements and the free VPN is sure to sway over any doubters. However, the service is expensive, especially in comparison to CleanMyMac. That’s not to say CleanMyMac is a budget option – there are still plenty of outstanding features like malware removal and space visualization. We also like that it offers a lifetime license, so users don’t feel tied to a subscription. Since both CleanMyMac and MacKeeper offer limited free versions of their products, we encourage users still uncertain to test them both out first.In April of last year, Apple Gazette published a review of a very popular piece of software called MacKeeper. Currently, there are over 80 reader comments on that review - most of which are extremely negative. Yet MacKeeper is a well-reviewed piece of software, with universally positive marks. Since we first posted our review of MacKeeper, it’s become one of our most-visited pages, consistently ranking in our top 5 overall pages. It’s become so high in traffic that if you search for “MacKeeper” on Google, our review is (at the time of this writing) on Google’s first page of results. Clearly, something about our review (or the reader comments therein) has struck a nerve. ZeoBit, the company behind MacKeeper, contacted Apple Gazette recently with a surprising claim of why their app has gotten so many negative comments: ZeoBit believes that it is the target of a smear campaign by one of its competitors. I asked that this competing company be named, but ZeoBit stated that they have no desire to start a war - though they did ask if we could give their counter-arguments a forum.Īllow me to be clear: as an unbiased publication, Apple Gazette takes no side on this issue. But given that the naysayers have had the floor for over a year now, we feel it’s fair to give ZeoBit equal opportunity to defend itself. We encourage our readers to examine both sides of this issue, and draw your own conclusions.
