Since 2008, the number of apps available in the Mac App Store skyrocketed from a mere 800 to 900,000 today. With nearly a million apps available for download, it can be difficult to differentiate the good from the bad.

According to Upstart Business Journal, the top eight apps for business owners are reasonably priced, user-friendly and allow businesses to stay organized and run effectively:

1. Dropbox: This free cloud storage app permits users to access files from any device at any time and allows employees to share documents and other files.

6. Asana: Functioning as a shared to-do list for a company, Asana allows group members to monitor work as it is assigned or completed. The app can even subdivide and prioritize tasks depending on the day, month or year.
