For those who use app cache cleaners do they actually help?

 
If not is there a easier way to do it other than manually one by one?

There's some apps out there that automatically does it. It goes in the app info and then into storage finally clear cache.

I recommend you clear an apps cache manually and only when necessary, like having an issue with a particular app.
Many third-party app cache cleaners are known to collect user data and send it to servers located outside the country.There are concerns about using these apps due to their shady practices and privacy policies. Most demand extensive permissions or display sketchy full-screen ads.
The need to run continuously in the background and use system resources usually outweighs their common selling point of speeding up your phone (it defeats the purpose). Clearing the app cache is often the first step in troubleshooting phone issues. However, clearing it too frequently can increase loading times. Finding a balance is key.
