| Reports and portability | The developer documents exporting maps as posters with Command-Shift-E. Keep that image as a reference; it is not a scan file that NullDisk can import. | Keep screenshots and paths from Space Lens.

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
Space Lens (CleanMyMac): what stands out
A good fit for existing CleanMyMac users who want visual disk exploration within their suite.
Space Lens (CleanMyMac): strengths
- Bubble visualization of local and external storage
- Folder-by-folder browsing and a reviewed removal list
- Part of the broader CleanMyMac maintenance suite
Considerations
- A suite module rather than a standalone purchase
- Check module availability in your CleanMyMac edition
- Suite licensing may be more than needed for disk analysis alone
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 Space Lens (CleanMyMac)?
A good fit for existing CleanMyMac users who want visual disk exploration within their suite. Part of CleanMyMac; check current subscription/one-time plans and edition availability.
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.
