The app-subscription service Setapp is by far the easiest way to try out new Mac apps without all the time and expense of purchasing a bunch of different ones.

The smartly curated service offers access to more than 210 highly regarded apps, including BusyCal, CleanMyMac X and Ulysses.

Setapp has earned "a cult following — and could hint at Apple’s future,” said CNBC of the popular service.

And right now you can get Setapp for less than $6 a month -- the price of a single, revolting sugary coffee drink from Starbucks.

How Setapp can juice your productivity, finances and creativity

By Unique Michael

Like you, I’m constantly trying to find new ways to use my Apple devices. That usually means trying new apps, but it’s not always clear which apps are worth installing and which are a waste of time and money.

Instead of trying apps haphazardly, there’s an option that’s been called the “Spotify of Mac apps.” This unique and inexpensive subscription service lets you access more than 200 popular and well-regarded Mac apps to download and use.

That option is Setapp, and right now you can save 36% on a one-year subscription.
