Verdict
The cheapest way to get tap to click working: start it and taps click, with right click and drag, and nothing to configure.
Best for
Someone who wants tap to click for the least possible money and does not mind toggling it after sleep.
Dealbreaker
By its own developer's account it can stop responding after the Mac sleeps until you switch it off and on, gestures cannot be turned off one at a time, and it never updates itself.

Where this comes from
One-time purchase with a seven-day free trial. Tap to click, right click, drag, double and triple tap. macOS 14 or later.magicmousetap.com ›
The developer's own comparison states it can stop responding after the Mac sleeps, has no per-gesture controls and does not update itself.magicmousetap.com/buy ›
Where we recommend it
Magic Mouse tap-to-click apps ›Apps that make a tap on the Magic Mouse count as a click.
Alternatives with the same rule.
Every app here adds a one-finger tap-to-click to the Apple Magic Mouse on a Mac, and every one is a single purchase. None is on the Mac App Store, because the touch data they read is off-limits to sandboxed apps. Also with a catch.

Verdict. The best-rounded tap-to-click app here: it re-arms itself whenever the Mac wakes or the mouse reconnects, which is the usual way these apps quietly stop working, and it installs its own updates. Every gesture has its own switch, and it costs a fraction of BetterTouchTool.
Best for. Someone who wants tap to click set up once and never thought about again, and would use a battery readout for their other Apple peripherals.
Dealbreaker. It is an early release with fewer gesture types than TappitX or TapToClick Pro, and there is no free trial of its own; the trial on offer is for MagicMouseTap, which shares its tap engine.

Verdict. The longest track record in a category where apps break on macOS updates: maintained for well over a decade, with fixes shipped within days, and tap to click is one of thousands of things it can do.
Best for. Someone who will also use it to customise their trackpad, keyboard or menu bar, not only the mouse.
Dealbreaker. Tap to click is not a switch you flip. You assemble it from tap triggers yourself, tap-to-drag takes extra work, and forum users report a slight delay because a tap only fires when the finger lifts.

Verdict. The most tap gestures for the least money: click, right click by zone or by pressing harder, drag, and middle click, all in a small app that does nothing else.
Best for. Someone who wants a dedicated tap-to-click app with more gestures than the basics and no setup.
Dealbreaker. It is brand new and anonymous: the changelog has a single undated release and the site names no developer, so there is no track record to judge how it will handle the next macOS update.
