How Broomkit's Free Trial and One-Time Licence Work
Updated
Broomkit gives you every feature unlocked for 3 days, then asks for a single payment if you want to keep using it. There is no subscription and no auto-renewal. You can download it without an account or a card, and you can see exactly how much space it finds on your own Mac before you decide whether to pay.
What you get during the 3-day trial
The trial is not a stripped-down demo. According to Broomkit's own trial-vs-licence page, every feature is unlocked during those 3 days, including:
- Full disk scan across every reclaimable category
- Disk Map for visualizing what is using your space
- Large and old file detection
- Browsing file paths and revealing items in Finder
- Live memory, CPU, disk and battery monitoring, with a Quit button per app
- Health alerts when something slows the Mac down
- Reclaim and the uninstaller
The point of unlocking everything is that you judge it on your own numbers rather than a sample. The site shows an example of 84.8 GB found on one real Mac, but notes your results will differ — Broomkit shows yours before you pay.
What happens after 3 days
After the trial ends, a single payment keeps the app. Broomkit states plainly that this is not a subscription and there is no auto-renewal. The pricing signals on the site list a one-time licence option at $34.95 for 1 Mac, alongside other choices.
A few things worth noting about the model:
| Aspect | How it works |
|---|---|
| Billing type | One-time payment, not a subscription |
| Auto-renewal | None stated |
| Trial length | 3 days, all features unlocked |
| Account required | No account needed to download |
| Card required to download | No |
| Licensing unit | Per Mac |
Why the trial matters for a cleaner app
Disk cleaners are hard to evaluate from screenshots because the value depends entirely on what is actually on your machine. A trial that unlocks Reclaim and the uninstaller lets you see the real reclaimable total — caches, leftovers, duplicates, large files — before committing. If your Mac has little to clean, you find that out during the trial rather than after paying.
The site also emphasizes some safety defaults that apply throughout: nothing is deleted without asking, files go to the Trash first, and there is no admin password, no privileged helper and no bundled software. The app is Developer ID signed and notarized by Apple, and requires macOS 14 or later.
How to try it and decide
- Download the free version from broomkit.com — no account, no card.
- Run a scan and open the Disk Map to see what is consuming space.
- Check the Reclaim flow up to the Review step, where everything is listed with a tick box before anything moves.
- Note the exact GB figure Broomkit reports for your Mac.
- If the number justifies it, buy the one-time licence; if not, you have lost nothing but time.
Uninstalling
If you decide not to keep it, Broomkit uninstalls by dragging it to the Trash — consistent with its no-helper, no-login-item design. There is no separate uninstaller process or leftover service to clean up.
The short version: 3 days free with everything on, then one payment per Mac if you want to continue. No subscription, no auto-renewal, and you see your own reclaimable space before any money changes hands.
