Our take
Pick Bartender if mac users who will pay $24.99 once for Bartender 7 while they Activate a first Work preset — not Pro $19.99/yr first unless they want future majors + Top Shelf, and not Raycast’s Free launcher unless they only need a command palette. Pick CleanMyMac if people who will pay $39.95/yr for one Mac — not Stats Free first unless they only want a menu meter.
