Updated Nov 7, 2026, from what MacPip lists today.
MacPip lists 7 Mac cleaner apps, and a person has checked 2 of them.4 of them have a free version.3 of them sell a one-time license.There is no single best Mac cleaner for everyone, so MacPip does not rank them.If you want it free, start with Tidymint.
Apps a person checked come first, newest check first. Never ordered by payment.
Mac cleaners have a mixed reputation, mostly earned by apps that scare people into paying. The ones listed on MacPip are quieter tools: they show what is filling your disk, explain each item before it goes, and leave the decision to you.
MacPip lists 7 of them. 4 have a free version and 3 are open source.
