diCleaner: what stands out
A good fit for Mac users seeking free storage analysis alongside broader maintenance tools.
diCleaner: strengths
- Storage analysis, large/old files, and duplicate/similar-photo tools
- App uninstallation, leftovers, and startup-item review
- Selection-based cleanup with Trash defaults for most tools
Considerations
- Permanent removal and privacy tools have different effects from Trash
- App Store privacy disclosure lists some non-linked data
- Cleanup eligibility depends on files, apps, and permissions
LumaDisk: what stands out
A good fit for Mac/Windows users wanting maps, duplicates, and build-cache discovery.
LumaDisk: strengths
- Sunburst and treemap with live scan updates
- Build-cache radar, duplicate groups, and unused-file lists
- OneDrive/Dropbox connections; iCloud through its local folder
Considerations
- Verify Mac CPU support; current site highlights Apple Silicon
- Features beyond scanning require an unlock after trial
- Google Drive is listed as coming soon
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 diCleaner?
A good fit for Mac users seeking free storage analysis alongside broader maintenance tools. Vendor says free to use with all current features included.
When should I choose LumaDisk?
A good fit for Mac/Windows users wanting maps, duplicates, and build-cache discovery. Seven-day full trial; scanning stays free. Vendor lists $6.89 once for the remaining features.
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.
