Space Lens (CleanMyMac): strengths
- Bubble visualization of local and external storage
- Folder-by-folder browsing and a reviewed removal list

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 Space Lens (CleanMyMac)?

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.
