I've purchased the CleanMyMac 3. I've tried CleanMyMac X and found the differences are about the performance, UI design and melware detection. I don't think it worth to purchase the new subscription plan.

Pros:

Nice visual design

Cons:

Expensive for the 1 year subscription

Christina Warren

I've been using CMM for the last decade and the new X version is great. I also recommend MacPaw's SetApp subscription service b/c it includes this app and lots of others. CleanMyMac X has some nice improvements, including the app updater module. The new UX is slick too.

Great work MacPaw!

Pros:

Great uninstaller, new updater built-in. easy way to manage system tasks

Cons:

None

Thank you so much for your comment, Christina! We're really happy that you love using both CleanMyMac X and Setapp! Comments like these inspire us to bring new improvements to our product every day!
Julia Petryk
Deeply touched by your words, Christina! As a member of the product team, you know very well how much commitment and devotion every product needs. We're all proud of the new CleanMyMac X, as we really outdid ourselves.

Been using CleanMyMac for years, never disappoints.

Pros:

Super awesome app. Uninstaller is a big ➕

Cons:

I almost read that as "Clean My Ex" only if 🤣

Love the team, product, app, design, and everything about it. https://on.ahmda.ws/c3fdd5242d67/c

I'm a long time user of CleanMyMac and will definitely upgrade as this version looks great (brilliant work guys), but can I ask a couple of questions about the "One-Time Purchase – Valid for CleanMyMac X" option… how long do you see this version being current? I wouldn’t like to pay the upgrade price for "One-Time Purchase – Valid for CleanMyMac X" only to find that "CleanMyMac XI" is released after a year, as I would have been better just purchasing the "1-Year Subscription". Not being stingy, just looking for some clarification please.
kosovan
@craigcpaterson Historically the release cycle of Major CleanMyMac versions is 3 years. But it very much depends on the new technologies and OSs on the market, and other trends, that we have to support. So we can not guarantee at the moment that this timeline will be kept the same.
kosovan
@craigcpaterson But I would rather recommend do subscribe to a yearly plan, which will include any future updates.
Ton
@kosovan As much as I love CleanMyMac (X and all the earlier editions) the upgrade price is pretty steep. 50% off upgrade price certainly seems nice, but that's only the first year. So if CleanMyMac X becomes CleanMyMac X1 after three years you pay 100 euro instead of the one-time 45 euro. Will these 'New features regularly' only show up in the subscription version?
Václav Slavík
@kosovan @t55 Yeah, that part is messaged poorly, it gives the impression the upgrade discount is for the entire price, not its first slice. And the nudge towards subscription with "New features regularly" is really, really unclear.
kosovan
@t55 @vslavik At the moment we don't have a clear roadmap for future major releases. We will develop and improve both products as one. But at some point in the future, it will make sense to release a new product based on newer technologies, and this is where we can commit to delivering this functionality for free to subscription customers only.

New update is slick. Enjoying it so far.
kosovan
Hey Product hunters! 10 years ago I developed the very first CleanMyMac. Back then, I had no idea that it will change my life, mark the beginning of MacPaw, and become the most popular Mac cleaning utility among millions of users worldwide. Today, I’m extremely thrilled to launch CleanMyMac X which is X times faster, sleeker and smarter. Our team has packed the latest CleanMyMac with new useful features, tons of improvements and wrapped it in a mind-blowing interface to transform a boring system cleanup into a fun and thrilling experience. Enjoy the power of X and let us know what you think!
Julia Petryk
@kosovan This new CleanMyMac X marks a new era of Mac utilities! Thrilled to be a part of this app evolution. Xcellent job, my beloved MacPaw!

@kosovan I've been a long time user of CleanMyMac. Congratulations on the quality of the product. I remember the first time I used your product I thought that it was like the bloated and malwareish products that existed on the Windows ecosystem but I was so wrong. I'm glad for the continuous development of CleanMyMac. I will be buying this. Thanks
Mehdi
@kosovan Hello, I'm downloading now to test it, thanks for this product :) I just wanted to say that I think that there is a problem concerning the app download on the website, it keeps hanging I had to manually get the link from the html a tag  😕
Cody McLain
I paid for the upgrade but found it not moving after a few minutes so I canceled it, but if I tried to do it again was told I already purchased it, yet I have no email receipt of the transaction, see I was indeed charged the amount and apparently no way of upgrading to the X I paid for. What should I do?
kosovan
@codymclain We are very sorry, we are experiencing some delays in license delivery due to high load right now. The licenses will be emailed with a slight delay during next several hours :(
Max Sobkowski
I use CleanMyMac for many years. Feels like a part of OS X, really can't imagine my working machine without it!
Dmitry Novikov
@sbkwsk Thank you!
Nazar Gulyk
Congrats on the launch, looks really great! Love your company and products!
Julia Petryk
@neffko thank you for such feedback. Highly appreciated!
Aleksandra
A great update to my favorite app. The new interface is amazing! Congrats on the launch to the team and keep up the great work! 🎉
Eugene Kalnyk
@aleks_muse Thank you so much, Aleksandra! We're super glad that you liked the new CleanMyMac X!
Elena Bazu

I'm in love with the new design, it's definitely the new age of mac apps! And thank you for new features like an Internet speed tracking.

Pros:

Awesome design and new features!

Cons:

Didn't find

Sabri Helal
Perhaps I'm one of the skeptical ones here but having used CleanmyMac 3 for the longest time, and loving it, why exactly do companies feel the need to all switch a subscription basis? I fully support increasing revenue especially for a great product but there doesn't seem to be much info regarding the switch to subscription other than "Future major upgrades", "new features added regularly". Who's to say how long until a new version is out that requires switching ( if you are an existing user and take the one-time purchase with discount) Anyways, that's my little vent but the product looks great but not an instant switch from cleanmymac 3 to X for me

@sabrisjourney As I mentioned in the thread before, historically the release cycle of Major CleanMyMac versions is 3 years.

I've used CleanMyMac for a long time. It is amazing. This newest version is even better than the last few versions. They have included some amazing new features such as malware detection and cleanup. Highly recommended for anyone using a Mac.

Pros:

thorough, gets the job done

Cons:

none

lindelof
Looking forward to trying this out. Any discounts for Product Hunters?
Julia Petryk
@lindelof During the first week after the release, new users can purchase CleanMyMac X with a 30% discount
Damián Hernández

Every new version puts the bar higher in how a native app should feel and look. You can tell the difference in performance in any mac at the first use.

This new glossy UI is a delight. Also great new features as “Malware Removal”.

Pros:

A-must for your Mac. Revamped.

Cons:

None

Eugene Kalnyk
Thank you so much for your review, Damián! Making Macs as good as new is one of our top priorities with CleanMyMac! We are really happy you're enjoying it!

First off, respect to the devs, this is a really well built app. Don’t be distracted by spammy alternatives, if you want a Mac cleaning app look no further.

But please beware of maintenance minutia.

Seeing those temporary files disappear, all those apps updating, that ram meter go up and down - it’s all very satisfying and addictive… but ultimately distracting. Not having to worry about virus scanners, endless updates and memory management is why I left Windows for Mac, I don’t want to bring back maintenance and monitoring to a machine which works just fine.

If your goal is to be more efficient on your Mac, first look at what you can remove rather than what you can install.

Pros:

This is a very well built suite of satisfying maintenance tools

Cons:

The performance returns may not be worth your time

Chase Giunta
More than doubling the price is a bold move. $39.95 to $90.
Julia Petryk
@chasegiunta Now now it includes Malware Removal and features 14 tools in total aimed at optimizing different components of macOS
