Looking for a TG Pro alternative?

TG Pro is a well-known name in this space and plenty of people are happy with it. If you're comparing it against something else, it's usually about one of a handful of things: how you pay for it long-term, whether it needs an account, and how much you can see and trust about what's actually running with elevated privileges on your Mac. Those are worth checking with anything in this category — here's where FanFan Control lands on each.

One-time payment, not a recurring one

Before switching between any two fan control apps, it's worth checking directly on each vendor's current pricing page whether you're looking at a one-time purchase or a subscription — pricing models change, and it's not something worth taking on faith from a comparison page, this one included. FanFan Control's own model is fixed and simple: the core features (live RPM and temperature for every sensor, manual fan speed) are free forever, no account, no time limit. Pro is a single payment of €14.99 that unlocks saved profiles, automatic rules by temperature or app, the configurable menu bar widget, and history export — paid once, yours for good, with a 14-day money-back guarantee if it's not for you.

Nothing to sign up for

No account of any kind, at any tier. No analytics. License validation happens on your Mac, offline, with cryptography — not checked against a server every time you open the app.

A privileged helper you can actually verify

Controlling fans on macOS always means a privileged helper writing to the SMC — that part is the same across every serious tool in this category, this one included. What differs is how much you can verify about it: FanFan Control's helper is notarized and signed by Apple, and the exact write operations it performs, plus the failsafe that snaps every fan back to automatic above 95 °C with no way to disable it, are documented in full on the security page rather than left as a black box.
