Thanks a lot for the giveaway, Tarek.
I admit i was attracted to this software due to the fact that i know very well the Windows version of PowerArchiver. 
The Mac version is at same quality, looking very nice on our Macs. The UI is very stylish, has a perfect integration with various software, it would be nice to test the .zipx archive engine and the lifetime license with upgrades is very attractive. 
I don't have  currently any other archiver for MacOS.

PowerArchiver, as its name, consists power in every department..features, options, tools, license policy, pricing, etc. Almost all archivers carry similar old school design and pale in front of rich and modern look of PowerArchiver. Mac doesn't receive as much love from the software developers or vendors as much showered on Windows. Its good PowerArchiver developed a Mac version, and in time, it will be comparable to the feature set and stability of the Windows version.

Keka archiver on our one and only Mac.
