Setapp Reviews

I worked great... until it didn't any longer.

I've upgraded form an individual Mac + Mobile membership to a Family plan. Without any notification (it's also nowhere present on their website), I've lost to the alternative App store they are testing. Contacting support about it was rubbish and they weren't helping at all. Would definitely no longer recommend.

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.

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.

Thank you!

I've been a longgg time user of Setapp and it's the best-kept-secret-that-is-not-a-secret out there for Mac users. You pay a single subscription and get access to all of the best Mac apps out there. This makes it easy for us to give our team the software tools they need to do their job and ensure they have the best (and most handy) of what's out there. They have everything from meeting software to note taking apps to calendar apps to cleaning apps and more. Setapp is a must have for anyone on a Mac.

Installing apps through Setapp can be a bit confusing at first since they're installed to your machine, but through a 3rd party and you're only technically licensing them. Not much a hurdle, but it's a real one.

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.

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.

I love that setapp allows me to subscribe to a software store for a low price. I have found so much new software to use

Some apps arent really that useful for day to day use.

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.

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

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.

The 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.

Thanks for the feedback!

Setapp is a great platform that provides access to the entire software catalog of the company.

Subscription model of Setapp should be revised in a way to be more flexible.

Thank you, Zafer!

Big amount of apps, great design, cheap price

Can't find how to change localization of the app to another language

The amount of software in there is just amazing for the price that you are paying. It is all opt-in, meaning you have to find and choose what you want and install it to enjoy its benefits!

It is honestly quite good -- so I guess the only thing that is negative about is that it has too little apps?

This service has transformed my workflow and practice. The price to get some apps I was already using was cheaper than their direct prices. I also used it to find some quality gems.

Not thrilled by the recent run of free for a short period of time.

I am using a lot of subscription-based tools with one price.

Adding additional device prices is very high.

A lot of different and useful mac apps, now also for iPhone and iPad.

Customer support that doesn't fix bugs that prevent me from using one of their apps, don't follow up on the issue, and don't even answer the customer.

There are a lot of great apps that I had already purchased before I got to know setapp. With the package, the value was much lower

Some apps are not great, thats is a little frustrating sometimes.

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).

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.

I 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.

I’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.

The amount of software in the software is significant. The timing app along is worth the cost of admission.

Licensing 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.

There's a lot of small apps that are useful, but not used everyday. Besides, there are some more apps that I use regularly and their singular licenses would cost me much, much more.

The programs base could be wider. It would be great to have all the software that is needed, I could even pay more to access other apps like Photoshop or other more advanced applications.

- Contains many high quality apps - Pricing is very reasonable - Includes iOS and Mac apps - Mac app is nicely done - Great customer support

- 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

All the available applications and the ease of use.

I have not found any Cons with this product.

Setapp 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.

The 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.

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.

Hard 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.

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.

Le prix reste relativement élevé surtout qu'il faut rajouter un supplément pour profiter des applications sur mobile.

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.

Le prix mensuel est peut-être un peu élevé.

Avoir plein d'apps et les essayer en payant un seul abonnement. Sinon, quel intérêt ? Plein d'applications OK, mais la grande majorité sont justes inutiles ou situationnelles. Conviendra sans doute à un public ayant besoin de plein de "petites apps" mais si vous voulez juste une app en particulier, achetez-la sur le site de l'éditeur, ça vous coûtera moins cher...

Les applications peuvent être achetées séparément pour un prix fixe sur le site des éditeurs, il n'y a aucun intérêt de payer les 2-3 apps que vous utilisez ad vitam éternam avec un abonnement. Le client sur Mac est vraiment pénible. Et gros point noir : le service client. J'ai beau avoir fermé mon compte depuis 2 mois, je continue d'être prélevé sur ma carte bancaire. J'ai pourtant envoyé deux messages et pas de retour du support depuis un an. Fuyez cette grosse escroquerie.
