Not a bad product but appalling customer care service

If you have any desire to have an issue with MacPaw resolved , don’t bother! Despite having renewed my subscription, their system wouldn’t recognise this and whilst this isn’t an unsolvable problem- trying to get any support from their support centre- forget it! Made multiple attempts. Even their chat bot was away on holiday. Rubbish customer care service.

Clean my Mac help loading onto new MacBook.

My old mac died and thank goodness I had backed it up. Clean my Mac didn't load onto new Mac. I contacted MacPaw by email and received a email back within 10 minutes. The instructions worked perfect. Thank you

Fast to resolve issue

I was having trouble accessing my account and accessing the product. But they responded promptly to my issue and helped guide me to resolve it. All sorted now. I have been using CleanMyMac for a few years now and it just keeps getting better. Well Done!

Excellent support for a great product

What distinguishes this company from many others is not only that they have an excellent product, but when help is needed, one can contact a real technical support person. I experienced a problem upgrading and it was resolved with help from Support within 24 hours. I'm happy to continue subscribing to MacPaw for CleanMyMac.

Difficulty updating to new Clean My Mac version

I had difficulty updating to the new Clean My Mac version and mistakenly got rid of the wrong files. I sent a couple of screen shots to Customer Service and soon received an email from Denys explaining that I had the wrong version in my application folder. His directions were extremely clear and all links were in the email so I could follow his directions to install the newer version given my current subscription. This isn’t the first time I contacted Customer Support and I find they are responsive and helpful.

Customer experience needs to be improved

software is okay, but whatever I tried, could not find back my invoice. Tried the help function, but that was useless. I feel a lot is aimed at beautifying the software and offering. But the purchase- and after sales options are mediocre.

Licence deactivation whilst still in paid subscription period.

Having used Cleanmymac and paid for a year subscription due to expire 25 Aug2025 this company deactivated my account before my subscription had ended. They owe me 6 weeks worth of my subscription cost. Appalling business model. Daily almost threatening in tone emails re renewing subscription. I cancelled and am using another product. Nightmare.

I needed to update CleanMyMac X to the latest version. I wrote to Customer Service, and they responded in minutes! I am VERY pleased with CleanMyMac and I can't imagine life without it! I have seven computers and they are all running smoothly. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

It’s very refreshing when people actually get back to you an help you with a problem. My issue was reinstalling on a new computer. The program is great and so easy to use. The customer service was excellent too.

Don’t sign up.

signed up to clean my Mac, but the product didn’t do what I needed, so I cancelled my plan. Despite cancelling within the appropriate time frame, I wasn’t automatically issued a refund. I had to manually apply for it, only to be told that because I didn’t request the refund quickly enough, I was no longer eligible, even though I cancelled on time.

I also reached out to customer service, who took months to respond, only to say they wouldn’t honour a refund for a product I no longer use.

Terrible experience. I would strongly recommend staying away from this company.

We appreciate you sharing your experience, and we understand your disappointment. However, I would like to reiterate the explanation we previously provided in your support request to ensure clarity for any readers of this review.

While your subscription was canceled, please note that cancellation alone does not automatically result in a refund. According to our Terms of Service, a refund is only issued upon explicit request within 30 days of purchase. Unfortunately, your initial refund request was submitted more than two months after the 30-day refund period had elapsed, which rendered your subscription ineligible for a refund under our policy.

We recognize that this may not have been immediately apparent, but please note that the cancellation of a subscription does not automatically result in a refund. Please refer to our Terms of Service and Refund Policy, which are available on our website.

We also sincerely regret the delay in our response to your original ticket. We strive to provide a higher standard of support, and this was not the experience we intended to provide. As previously explained, refund eligibility is determined by the date of the request, not the timing of our response.

We hope this clarifies any potential confusion. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact us. We are always available to provide clarification and assistance.

I purchased a lifetime license for CleanMyMac X

I purchased a lifetime license for CleanMyMac X about 1.5 years ago, trusting the company and investing upfront in their product. Now, I see that in order to use the new CleanMyMac version, I have to pay again. This feels very unfair. The new version is simply an improved version of what I already paid for — the core functionality remains the same, only the design has been updated.

You’re not even selling CleanMyMac X anymore. So it is a version. Not a new product.

I believe the company misunderstands the meaning of a lifetime license. There’s a difference between a "new version" and a "new product." This is not a completely new product; it’s a version update of the existing software.

Customers like me provided the budget that allowed this new version to be developed. We gave the company upfront liquidity to continue operations and pay employees. And this is how they reward that trust? It’s disappointing.

If I were to buy another lifetime license now, would they release “CleanMyMac 1000” next year and ask for even more money? It feels like they are taking advantage of loyal customers who invested early and believed in their product.

The new version of CleanMyMac is a marketing version to make more money off One-Time X subscribers. MacPaw cannot be trusted.

We appreciate your feedback and understand the frustration that changes like this can cause.

When you purchased your CleanMyMac X license, it was a one-time payment, not a "lifetime" license—a distinction that has always been clearly communicated in our product communication and policies. The license grants full access to the specified product version for the duration of its use, inclusive of ongoing maintenance and support.

The release of the new CleanMyMac in 2024 marks the first major paid upgrade in seven years. The update includes a redesigned interface, a new engine, broader macOS support, and enhanced modules. Notable additions include the return of Space Lens and a more intuitive Assistant that helps guide users based on their Mac's current state. While some of its core functionalities persist, the technology and direction behind the app have undergone substantial evolution.

We hold the trust placed in us by our early supporters in the highest regard. For this reason, CleanMyMac X remains available for download, activation, and use on supported systems. If your device does not support the new version, CleanMyMac X will continue to function as usual.

We understand that not every change will be well-received by every user. However, we would like to emphasize that the decision to move forward with a new product model was not made hastily. It reflects not only the need to adapt to the evolution of macOS but also to continue providing a high-quality, secure, and modern tool for Mac maintenance.

We would like to express our gratitude for your continued support and for your commitment to excellence.
