We're using Transmit for at least a decade with all our client's sites. It just works and it blends into our MacOS workflow seamlessly -- what more can you ask for? If you don't want to pay for a license, you'll pay with your time.
Pro Dedicated FTP app that performs well
Sticks to being a simple FTP app without adding more features. No need for other file managing features that are not related to FTP purposes. A client that is simply a nice GUI as apposed to just using a command line.
Pro Easy and intuitive user interface
Pro Free to download
It's free to download from the developers according to the FAQ, however donation models are not allowed on the Mac store, which is why it costs $23.99 there.

Cons
Con Need to pay for license
Con Upgraded to High Sierra, and there's an iCloud conflict when using Cyberduck
