UK users increasingly face adware, phishing and data breaches targeting macOS. Apple's built-in protections cover basics like XProtect, but they don't scan for adware, track leaked passwords or encrypt your web traffic. MacKeeper fills those gaps with 11 tools that go far beyond what macOS provides out of the box — and right now you can lock in up to 75% off with a verified voucher code.
Which MacKeeper plan gives the best value for UK users
MacKeeper offers three subscription tiers, and the savings difference between them is dramatic. The monthly plan at £10.95 is straightforward but expensive over a year. The 12-month single-Mac plan drops to £71.40 per year — that's £5.95 per month, a 40% saving compared to paying monthly. The best value comes from the 12-month 3-Mac plan at £89.40 per year, which works out to just £7.45 per month per device — a 75% effective discount compared to three separate monthly subscriptions.
If you have two or more Macs at home — say a MacBook Pro for work and an iMac for the family — the 3-Mac plan is the obvious choice. You get the same full suite of 11 tools on each device, and the per-device cost drops well below what you'd pay for standalone antivirus alone from competitors like Norton or McAfee.
| Plan | Devices | Monthly cost | Annual total | Saving vs monthly |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1-month plan | 1 Mac | £10.95 | £131.40 | — |
| 12-month plan | 1 Mac | £5.95 | £71.40 | 40% |
| 12-month plan | 3 Macs | £7.45 | £89.40 | 75% |
What each MacKeeper tool actually does — and which ones matter most
MacKeeper bundles 11 tools into one app. You won't use all of them every day, but the ones you need depend on how you use your Mac. Here's a breakdown of what each tool covers so you can decide whether the full suite is worth it for your situation.
Real-time malware protection with daily database updates. Blocks worms, Trojans and spyware before they reach your Mac. AV-TEST certified with a 99.7% detection rate.
296 servers across 50 locations with AES-256-CBC military-grade encryption. Hides your IP and secures your connection on public Wi-Fi. No virtual locations — every server is a real MacKeeper server.
Monitors your email addresses 24/7 for leaked passwords, credit card data and personal information. Sends instant alerts so you can change compromised credentials before damage spreads.
Deep system scan that removes cache files, logs and junk without touching your personal documents. Typically reclaims several gigabytes of disk space on first run.
Detects and removes adware, browser hijackers and potentially unwanted applications. Includes real-time monitoring that alerts you when suspicious software tries to install.
Blocks video ads, banners and trackers in Safari and Chrome. Prevents trackers from profiling your browsing behaviour and potentially inflating prices on shopping sites.
Scans for duplicate files, similar photos and unnecessary screenshots. Identifies matches regardless of file name and lets you choose which copies to delete while keeping originals safe.
Completely removes applications along with their leftover preference files, plugins and widgets. Also highlights apps you haven't opened in over six months.
Frees up RAM instantly by shutting down memory-heavy processes. Shows detailed usage stats so you can see which apps are hogging resources at a glance.
MacKeeper periodically runs anniversary promotions offering 40% off 12-month plans. When these stack on top of the already-reduced annual pricing, your effective monthly cost drops significantly — the 1-Mac plan falls below £4 per month. If a voucher code is available at the same time, try applying it at checkout; some codes combine with sitewide promotions while others override them. Always check the final price before confirming.

Does MacKeeper's 14-day money-back guarantee cover all plans?
Can I get a full refund within 14 days?
Yes. MacKeeper offers a 14-day money-back guarantee on all plans including monthly subscriptions. If you're not satisfied for any reason — whether the app didn't meet your expectations or you simply changed your mind — contact support at support@mackeeper.com or call 0-800-014-8979 (UK toll-free) within 14 days of purchase for a full refund. No questions asked.
Is there a free version of MacKeeper?
MacKeeper offers a free scan with limited fixes. You can scan your Mac for malware, junk files, duplicates and privacy issues without paying, but each tool only lets you resolve one issue for free. The free version also excludes the VPN. To unlock unlimited fixes across all 11 tools, you need a paid subscription.
How does MacKeeper's antivirus compare to Apple's built-in protection?
Apple's XProtect and Gatekeeper provide baseline protection against known malware, but they don't scan for adware, don't monitor for data breaches and don't encrypt your internet traffic. MacKeeper's antivirus adds real-time scanning with daily database updates, catching threats that Apple's definitions may not yet recognise. Combined with ID Theft Guard and the VPN, it covers the security gaps that macOS leaves open.
Can I use MacKeeper on more than one Mac?
The 12-month 3-Mac plan covers up to three devices under one subscription. If you only need one device, choose the single-Mac plan. You cannot mix device counts within a single subscription, but you can purchase multiple plans if you have more than three Macs.
Some third-party download sites bundle MacKeeper with adware or offer outdated versions that lack the latest security patches. Always download directly from mackeeper.com to ensure you get the genuine, notarised app. The official site is also the only place where voucher codes and anniversary discounts are guaranteed to work at checkout.
