Nektony Disk Space Analyzer Pro: what stands out
A good fit for people who prefer an upfront App Store purchase with visual analysis and collections.
Nektony Disk Space Analyzer Pro: strengths
- Sunburst, largest-items list, and Quick Look
- Collect items for moving or removing
- Scans external storage and accessible cloud folders
Considerations
- Paid edition distinct from the free-download listing
- Access depends on macOS permissions and chosen scan locations
- A cloud-folder scan is not proof of direct provider-account access
SpacePeek: what stands out
A good fit for Finder users who want to inspect archives before extracting or deleting them.
SpacePeek: strengths
- Preview and search folders plus ZIP, 7z, and RAR archives
- Folder-size overview without background indexing
- Pro adds deeper navigation and copying archive members
Considerations
- An inspection companion rather than a full-drive cleanup utility
- Free browsing stops after the first child level
- Pro archive copying is limited to 100 MiB per file
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 Nektony Disk Space Analyzer Pro?
A good fit for people who prefer an upfront App Store purchase with visual analysis and collections. US Mac App Store lists $19.99 upfront; check your region’s current listing.
When should I choose SpacePeek?
A good fit for Finder users who want to inspect archives before extracting or deleting them. Free previews; optional $3.99 one-time Pro purchase in the US App Store.
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.
