Setapp for Mac

App marketplace for Mac and iOS devices

Setapp is a productivity program that was developed by Setapp Limited for devices running macOS or iOS. It is a curated application marketplace that offers users some of the best and most popular apps available for their respective platforms that can help increase their efficiency in their work tasks.

Setapps is a cross between Microsoft Power Apps and Ninite, serving as a place where users can discover new applications, as well as letting them download all their apps in one place for easier management. It's offered in multiple subscription plans, with a 7-day free trial available, as well.

What is Setapp?

In a nutshell, Setapp is a digital application marketplace geared towards Mac and iOS users. It features a sleek and modern user interface where you can start discovering apps. Gain access to a collection of more than 210 highly curated apps that are categorized depending on your needs and preference, including writing, coding, and drawing among others.

Using Setapp is an intuitive and familiar affair that is similar to how you would navigate the Mac App Store. It features multiple categories to browse through, app pages that provide detailed information, and an easy one-click installation process. What's more, it will also handle all app licensing and updates so you won't have to keep track of them.

Just a few things worth considering before you try Setapp out. First off, its value proposition will be highly user-dependent. Out of the 210-plus apps that you'll pay for, you might take advantage of a lot of them, or just a handful. Another thing is that any additional device that you want to use the service on will cost extra.

Premium apps for an affordable price

At the end of the day, Setapp's value will be highly subjective and user-dependent. If you're already deeply invested in the Apple ecosystem, chances are you already own some or most of the applications being offered by it. However, if you're new to using Mac or iOS devices, this service poses a good entry point into getting some premium and worthwhile apps to get you started.
