Disk Xray: what stands out
A good fit for Mac users seeking an analyzer plus duplicate and photo cleanup tools.
Disk Xray: strengths
- Size-sorted folder scanner
- Byte-by-byte duplicate checks and similar-picture search

- Shredder operations are permanent
- Vendor limits content overwriting to supported HDDs, excluding SSD/APFS/network drives
DiskPoint: what stands out
A good fit for Mac users evaluating a free local cleanup app, after checking its current build.
DiskPoint: strengths
- Free Mac download advertised by the vendor
- Vendor states analysis stays local without tracking
- Accepts community requests and bug reports
Considerations
- Windows and Linux are described as coming soon
- Current chart type is not verified from readable documentation
- Export and deletion semantics are not established by the cited page
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 Disk Xray?
A good fit for Mac users seeking an analyzer plus duplicate and photo cleanup tools. Free App Store download; full functionality via subscription or lifetime purchase. The subscription includes a seven-day trial.
When should I choose DiskPoint?
A good fit for Mac users evaluating a free local cleanup app, after checking its current build. Vendor advertises a free download, with no ads or subscription.
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.
