What is CCleaner?

CCleaner is a cleanup and optimization utility from Gen Digital, first launched in 2004. The Windows app removes junk files and browsing data, cleans the registry and manages startup programs, and paid plans add a Performance Optimizer, a Driver Updater, automatic software updates and scheduled cleaning. Versions for Mac, Android and iOS are also offered, and the higher plans cover several devices and bundle Recuva and Speccy.

CCleaner has a free plan. Paid plans start at $44.95 per year for 1 PC (CCleaner Pro). See every plan

Good for

  • Windows users who want junk cleaning, browser cleanup and startup control in one app
  • People who want driver and software updates handled by the same utility
  • Households covering several PCs, Macs and Android devices with one plan

Worth knowing

  • Performance Optimizer, Driver Updater, software updates, automatic cleaning and the complete Health Check all need a paid plan.
  • CCleaner Professional is sold as an annual subscription, not a one-time license, and the Pro plan covers a single PC.
  • The site prices by visitor location. The US dollar prices here come from a copy of the plans page archived on May 11, 2026.
  • The PC app needs Windows 8 or later and excludes S mode and RT editions.
