Mac App Store or the maker's own site?

Many Mac apps are sold in two places, and they don't always work the same way. Buying through the Mac App Store means Apple handles payment, updates and refunds, and the app is tied to your Apple ID.

Buying from the maker's own site usually gets you a licence key or an account login. Makers who sell directly can offer paid upgrade pricing for a new major version, which the Mac App Store doesn't support in the same way, so existing customers often get a better upgrade price there.

Tip: If an app is sold in both places, check which one the Black Friday deal applies to before you buy. A discount on the maker's site won't show up in the App Store, and the other way round.

What to check in a Mac licence

Mac licences vary more than you'd expect. Before you pay, check these four things in the terms or on the pricing page.

• How many Macs it covers. Personal licences commonly cover one to three Macs.
• Which updates are included: bug fixes only, one year of updates, or every future version.
• Whether it needs an account or works offline with a licence key.
• The minimum macOS version, especially if you're on an older Mac.

Apple silicon and older Macs

Most actively maintained Mac apps run natively on Apple silicon. Apps built only for Intel Macs can still run on Apple silicon through Rosetta 2, Apple's translation layer, but native apps are faster and use less battery.

If you're on an Intel Mac, check the other way too: some newer apps require a recent version of macOS that older Intel Macs can't install.

Black Friday 2026: the key dates

The main weekend is short, but software sales spread well beyond it. Most makers announce their offer in the two weeks before Black Friday, and many keep it running until Cyber Monday ends.

Tip: If a deal you want already states its price and end date, buying early rarely costs you anything. The bigger risk is forgetting.

How we check these deals

Every deal here comes from the maker, the maker's own website or store listing, or a public community list, and we check it against the maker's site before it goes live. Terms are quoted as the maker wrote them, with a link to where we found them.

We don't invent discounts or guess end dates. If a percentage isn't stated, we only show one when the maker gives both the old and the new price. Prices can change, so confirm the final price at checkout.
