MacBooster vs MacKeeper Comparison

Created by Chinese company IObit, MacBooster provides incredibly quick system scans that will soon have your Mac running smoothly again. As well as removing junk files, MacBooster scans your system in rapid time for any malware or viruses before running the optimization process. One unique MacBooster feature is the lightning boost tool, which uses RamDisk to create a virtual drive on your desktop – a great way to protect your physical hard disk. We particularly like the photo sweeper utility, enabling you to group together any similar images – a useful way of clearing up more space on your Mac. MacBooster also comes with a mini version that lives in your menu bar. From the mini version you can run scans and activate MacBooster’s firewall to keep your Mac safe at all times.

It’s hard for some to consider MacKeeper without thinking about the company’s old aggressive marketing tactics that gave the service a bad reputation. Now a part of digital protection company Clario, MacKeeper has turned the corner. This is primarily because MacKeeper’s outstanding software makes it one of the best Mac optimizers available – it’s impressive to see the vast number of features on offer. Of course, all the important optimization functions are there, like duplicate and junk file removal. More than just removing junk though, MacKeeper’s thorough scans check for adware infections, useless startup items, and much more. MacKeeper also provides you with a formidable list of free extras like a browser extension, data breach monitor, and VPN. However, what makes this whole package really stand out is the assistance you get along the way. MacKeeper gives you your own personal tech expert who can help you through every step of the process to get the most out of your Mac.
