DaisyDisk vs CleanMyMac: Features & Tools Comparison

DaisyDisk vs. CleanMyMac: Final comparison

So, which is the best Mac cleaning tool? While these two apps can help free up disk space on your Mac, they offer a very different experience. The main difference between DaisyDisk and CleanMyMac is that one is a single-function application, while the other is a multi-functional all-in-one tool for Mac users.

DaisyDisk is good at what it does, and cloud storage scanning is a big advantage. However, its main advantage lies in its price. You can use this cleaning app for life only at a low price. In this regard, CleanMyMac cannot match – you either pay an annual subscription fee or pay a much higher single fee than DaisyDisk.

But CleanMyMac wins in other aspects. Like MacKeeper, it goes far beyond the cleanup feature, which makes its subscription model more reasonable. Unless you only need very basic features, such tools are a better choice.

Ultimately, DaisyDisk and CleanMyMac X serve different features and needs. DaisyDisk is a good choice if you just want to scan your Mac's storage space, and cloud functionality is also an added bonus. But CleanMyMac's SpaceLens feature is almost exactly the same as DaisyDisk, and it's just one of the many tools it offers. However, it is also much more expensive and you may not want to commit to an annual subscription.

There is another option - MacKeeper's Safe Cleanup. It offers fast, secure junk cleaning like CleanMyMac, but the added bonus is a low-cost rolling subscription, among other options. If you are not sure if you want to commit to a long term, this is a great way to try out your Mac cleaning tool first. Additionally, the MacKeeper application includes other optimizations and security features.
