CleanMyMac X is an all-in-one maintenance software available for macOS devices. We believe it’s the best solution you have at cleaning and tuning up your Mac experience to something better. That is not a good way to do business, and even if it were a solid app, it's hard to support these practices. After testing multiple Mac cleaning and speed-up software for several weeks, CleanMyMac X undoubtedly made it to the top position. So people who just go to the website to buy pay $89 (or $69 when they get a deal of the day), but when they pay from the nag screen, they only pay $56. Even when trying to close the nag screen by pressing the little X in the corner, the X turns into 'Don't leave yet, get your personal discount', which opens the website and gives you even more discount than their 'Deal of the day' which is shown after you download the trial. This is clearly done to play on the insecurities of the less-than-tech-savvy users, who might believe that their machine is now in a worse state than before they ran the app, and need to pay now to get a clean system. Especially with an app that is supposed to clean your system, it's really messed up to run an activity only partially, and then ask for money. While it's OK to provide only limited functionality in a trial version, the appsshould be upfront about what the limitation is. Sneaky about trial limitation and prices Trial version only cleans 500 MB, but it does not disclose that limit before one pushes the button to clean after a scan.
