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.
