A good fit for Mac users who want a sunburst and integrated file-management actions.
Nektony Disk Space Analyzer: strengths
- Sunburst and largest-items browsing
- Copy, move, or remove selected files
- Supports external volumes and accessible cloud-storage folders
Considerations
- Standard and Pro have separate store listings
- Check which actions require a purchase in the selected edition
- Mounted cloud folders do not necessarily represent an entire provider account
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 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.
