CleanMyMac X versus AppCleaner: What are their pros and cons

CleanMyMac X and AppCleaner are clearly from different leagues. AppCleaner is rather a one-trick app that does just what it says i.e. cleans your apps. CleanMyMac X does that too but offers a lot more tools in its arsenal. AppCleaner utilizes a simple drag & drop logic — merely a shredder for your apps — whilst CleanMyMac X is a big control room to speed up and clean up your entire macOS.
