“Beginning with OS X El Capitan, system file permissions are automatically protected. It's no longer necessary to verify or repair permissions with Disk Utility.”

I would stay away from all of those apps. None of them do anything more than Disk Utility does. The OS knows how to manage and repair permissions. All they do is call the appropriate OS commands.
