Why is RJL System Cleaner $19.99 when CCleaner charges $29.95 per...

Because we believe system utilities should be affordable and honest.

RJL System Cleaner is $19.99 one-time -- not a subscription. You pay once and own it forever, including all future v1.x updates. There are no renewal charges, no auto-billing, and no "your license is expiring" emails.

Here is how the cost compares over time:

  • After 1 year: CCleaner has cost you $29.95. RJL System Cleaner has cost you $19.99. You save $9.96.
  • After 2 years: CCleaner has cost you $59.90. RJL System Cleaner is still $19.99. You save $39.91.
  • After 5 years: CCleaner has cost you $149.75. RJL System Cleaner is still $19.99. You save $129.76.

And with RJL System Cleaner, you also get features CCleaner does not offer at any price: per-file safety ratings, a Review gate, System Restore integration, and a duplicate file scanner that shows results in the free version.

We can charge less because we have lower costs. We are a single independent developer with no venture capital to pay back, no shareholders to satisfy, and no 500-person sales team. The $19.99 goes directly to the person who wrote the code.
