Delve: what stands out
A good fit for Apple Silicon users on macOS 26+ who want two maps and staged cleanup.
Delve: strengths
- Treemap, sunburst, and file list
- Logical and on-disk measurement with filtering
- Quick Look, collector-to-Trash, and map image export
Considerations
- Requires macOS 26 or later
- Apple Silicon only in the current requirements
- A map export is a visual record, not a file backup
DiskPoint: what stands out
A good fit for Mac users evaluating a free local cleanup app, after checking its current build.
DiskPoint: strengths
- Free Mac download advertised by the vendor
- Vendor states analysis stays local without tracking
- Accepts community requests and bug reports
Considerations
- Windows and Linux are described as coming soon
- Current chart type is not verified from readable documentation
- Export and deletion semantics are not established by the cited page
For a useful comparison on your own drive, match the scan root, access permissions, and size mode. Chart style changes how you explore the results; it does not by itself establish measurement accuracy.
Common questions
When should I choose Delve?
A good fit for Apple Silicon users on macOS 26+ who want two maps and staged cleanup. Vendor lists $4.99 once after a 14-day trial.
When should I choose DiskPoint?
A good fit for Mac users evaluating a free local cleanup app, after checking its current build. Vendor advertises a free download, with no ads or subscription.
Will both apps show the same size?
Not necessarily. Match the scan root, permissions, exclusions, and logical/allocated-size mode. Hard links, APFS clones, snapshots, sparse files, and cloud placeholders can change totals. A reported size is not a guaranteed amount recovered after deletion.
