SpaceLens
A bubble-map storage explorer inside the CleanMyMac suite.
＋ SpaceLens: Strengths

－ SpaceLens: Weaknesses
- Requires the full CleanMyMac suite — no standalone purchase
- Subscription push where single-purpose rivals charge once
- Suite scope means deeper scans can feel like an upsell path
