Setapp or Not?
As I was reviewing my growing list of software subscriptions, I remembered Setapp. I’ve been subscribed to Setapp since launch. I like the idea of “Netflix but for apps”. Access to a large and growing list of useful apps for ten bucks a month is pretty great.
But is it worth it to me? Let’s see.
Apps I regularly use
- Forklift
- Marked
- Ulysses
- BusyCal
- Renamer
- CleanMyMac
- iStat Menus
- Permute
- TaskPaper
- Sip
- Flume
- Squash
- Timing
Apps I occasionally or might use
- Aeon Timeline
- Bartender
- BetterTouchTool
- Declutter
- Downie
- Gemini
- Gifox
- Merlin Project Express
- Netspot
- NotePlan
- Numi
- Paw
- Screens
- WiFi Explorer
I’d say that settles it. Nearly 30 apps I either use often or only need occasionally for $10 a month makes it a no-brainer. I don’t even need to do the math on how much just the regularly-used apps would cost me. Also, Setapp regularly adds new apps, so the value continues to increase over time.
