Apr 23, 2026Finally, a Mac archiver that just works
BetterZip has completely replaced The Unarchiver and other tools for me. It handles every format I throw at it, from simple ZIP files to complex multi-part RARs, and the ability to preview files before extracting is a huge time-saver. Setting a strong password for encrypted archives is effortless, and it integrates perfectly with my workflow.

Apr 22, 2026Powerful but Could Use Some Polish
BetterZip handles all my archive formats reliably and the encryption features are solid. However, the interface feels a bit dated and clunky compared to newer Mac apps, and the price tag seems steep for what's offered. It gets the job done, but I'm not sure I'd buy it again at full price.

As someone who frequently deals with various compressed file formats from clients, BetterZip has been a lifesaver. The interface is clean and intuitive, making it easy to peek inside archives without fully extracting them. The ability to quickly encrypt sensitive files and share them has streamlined my workflow immensely. It just works, without any unnecessary bloat.

Mar 11, 2026Powerful but sometimes puzzling
BetterZip is a capable archiving tool for Mac that handles all the common formats I need, and the encryption and sharing features are genuinely useful. However, the interface, while clean, has some quirks that aren't immediately intuitive, and I've encountered a few odd bugs when extracting nested archives. It's a solid app, but it doesn't feel as polished as I'd expect for the price.
