Facts about DaisyDisk are from its own site, as of October 2026.
Where DaisyDisk wins
A one-time $9.99 licence for up to five personal Macs, a native Mac feel, and a quick scan on Apple hardware. It states plainly that it collects nothing. If you only ever run macOS and want one paid tool, it is the cheaper one.
Where Leita wins
Windows and Linux. Exports in PDF, HTML, CSV and JSON, where DaisyDisk has none. Comparison between scans. A terminal mode for servers and scripts. Source available. And Leita Free costs nothing on a Mac.
Folders as rings around the root; the largest arc is where to look first.

One Mac, one purchase, no reports: DaisyDisk. More than one operating system, or an answer someone else needs to read: Leita.
DaisyDisk is $9.99 once, for personal Macs. Leita is free at home and at work; Pro is $39 a year for one person and $99 for commercial work.
