The lat­est MacHeist bun­dle has been revealed and it’s quite a good one this year.

For those not aware, the MacHeist bun­dles are a col­lec­tion of var­i­ous Mac apps sold together in one pack­age for a lower price than buy­ing all the indi­vid­ual pro­grams sep­a­rately. As more peo­ple buy the bun­dle, more apps are added to the bun­dle. They also donate 25% of every sale to char­ity. They do all this for a lim­ited time (2 weeks?) so you need to get it while you can.

Right now the bun­dle is val­ued at $626.75 and it’s sell­ing for $39. There’s a few appli­ca­tions that look really good to me (iSale, World of Goo, Lit­tle Snap­per, Acorn, Wire­Tap Stu­dio, BoinxTV, and Espresso) so at $39 it’s a pretty sweet deal to get all of them when nor­mally that would only get you one of the appli­ca­tions — but you’re mileage may vary depend­ing on what you use your Mac for.

One thing to watch for is the appli­ca­tions are typ­i­cally the lite ver­sion or are about to get revised to a new ver­sion, and then try and prompt you to upgrade for a small fee. It’s noth­ing evil — you are get­ting the ver­sion of the soft­ware they pro­mote on MacH­esit. Just go into it know­ing that a new ver­sion may be around the corner.

I think I’ll be buy­ing the bun­dle this year. Will you?
