I venture to say most people don’t even think twice about buying an app for $0.99, $1.99 or even $2.99. It would be better if they dropped the price and increased the buyer pool. I agree, I think desktop apps are outrageously overpriced, especially when you have to go through the upgrade process. True enough, but if CCleaner and the rest of the 'free' tools happen to disappear one day or don’t implement features or bug fixes, you have no one to blame but yourself.Ĭcleaner,Defraggler, Recuva and Speccy are all free apps worth paying for. Many people will say to heck with it and just stick with free because there’s no point in paying for something you can get for free. Piriform is offering a complete program for free and if it’s of benefit they hope you’ll buy a 'full' copy as a way of saying thank you for their work. Upgrading to the Pro version doesn’t enable a slew of missing features. The programs will also download and install updates automatically. It offers to clean Internet files when the browser closes and pops up a notification when a reasonable amount of space can be save. CCleaner has a nice monitoring tool that determines when it’s time to take out the trash and save you some space. While the programs are by and large identical, there are a couple of nice features. So, the satisfaction of knowing you did the right then. Well, they are indeed impressive apps, so what do you get if you buy them all?įirst, let’s go with the altruistic answer, you’re helping to support the developers and provide funds so updates and new versions will keep on coming. But I see this question written a lot, why should I buy CCleaner or Defraggler when the free ones work perfectly fine? And, it’s nearly $20 cheaper than buying them all individually. So I went ahead and bought a copy of the CCleaner Professional Plus Bundle which gave me all 4 programs for $5 more than buying a single program.
