Common questions
When should I choose Diskaroo?
A good fit for users wanting one account-based analyzer across Mac, Windows, and Linux. Vendor currently offers lifetime Pro free with a Bravely Account; sign-in is required.
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.
