However, when you remove an application in this way, many of its associated components such as its caches, widgets, plug-ins, preferences and logs stay behind on your system. These files are of no use and just a waste that consume your hard disc space. Here the Smart Uninstaller in the MacKeeper can do a great job by providing a complete un-installation. When you uninstall an application using Smart Uninstaller, not only the main program files, but also its associated files are deleted from your system, and there is nothing left over to consume the hard disc space. It is also faster and safer than the standard uninstaller.

The Duplicate Finder is a powerful tool that can help you find all duplicate files including documents, images, media files, emails and many more. It is amazingly fast and accurate, and it will list the duplicate files and delete them upon your approval. This tool can make your System clean and organized by recovering lot of space in your hard-drive.

CleanMyMac is another Mac cleanup program developed by MacPaw, a team of similar minded techies from Ukraine. It offers a complete set of tools to make your Mac cleaner and faster and fill your Mac life with more fun and creativity. This program offers a comprehensive set of cleaning, maintenance, and Mac health monitoring tools. It comes with an intuitive user-interface, which makes it simple for everyone to customize and configure it.

When comparing CleanMyMac with MacKeeper, we can see that it lacks many features that are available with MacKeeper. It does not offer Human assistance, Geek on Demand, Find File, File Backup, and File Recovery Tools. CleanMyMac does not include any internet security features such as Anti-virus protection, Smart browsing, Data Encryption or Update tracker. In addition, the anti-theft technology and features like Track-my-Mac is only available in MacKeeper, and if you want such features with CleanMyMac, you have to purchase it from other vendors. However, when we consider the cost of these two software, the CleanMyMac offers us a price advantage. At $39.95/license (1 year subscription), it is much cheaper than MacKeeper.
