CleanMyMac

Clears junk, malware and old apps off your Mac

MacFrom $9.95

The verdict

If your Mac keeps warning about full storage and you don't want to hunt for files yourself, CleanMyMac's Smart Care scan clears system junk, checks for malware and flags big forgotten files in one go. It now cleans iCloud Drive, Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox and Gmail too. At $39.95 a year it costs far more than the free AppCleaner or Pearcleaner, which cover uninstalling, so Setapp is the cheaper route if you already subscribe.
