DaisyDisk allows you to visualize your disk usage and free up disk space by quickly finding and deleting big unused files.
The program scans your disk and displays its content as a sector diagram where the biggest files and folders at once become obvious. To drill down to a folder, just click on a segment. To bubble up, click in the center. Move the mouse over the diagram and see the name and path of each file, and enclosed files (if any). Hit Space to quickly preview file content, without launching another application. In this way, walk around your disk and drag-and-drop

The circular graph isn't just eye candy; it's actually a great way to see what kinds of files are eating up your space. Remember, you can hover the mouse pointer over a graph segment to see more details, and click any segment to drill down and see a new graph of that section of your disk.
Another non-obvious feature: while hovering over any item, hit spacebar to open QuickLook.

With all due respect, Disk Inventory X is aged. It was last updated in 2005, and its scanning engine is much slower than DaisyDisk's. We've done comparative tests many times, Disk Inventory X is unfortunately one of the slowest. Besides, sometimes Disk Inventory X will crash if the number of files is too large and it runs out of memory. We've done a lot of scanning optimization for DaisyDisk, and its high speed is one of the things our customers mention first in their reviews.
The rectangular "tree-map" presentation in Disk Inventory X has its benefits and downsides, but our own usability tests show that our DaisyDisk's sunburst is more easily readable and navigable, in most cases.
Unlike Disk Inventory X, DaisyDisk is not freeware, but the trial version is fully functional and not limited in time. We ourselves hate to buy software that doesn't allow to test itself thoroughly :).

After the application scan your Hard Drive, it will present it to you on a map interface where you can navigate through and see how your space is distributed on the disk letting you see all the files and folders, including the hidden ones, see their sizes and letting you delete it from the application or show it to you on the Finder.
But with all the nice interface and design, you may say… it's this application really worth it?… YES, it may looks simple but the application is in fact really functional, specially for those who have their hard drive almost full and looking to get free space. With DaisyDisk you can really find out, as they say, the real space wasters and remove them, "Fast and Easy".
If you are looking for the best scanner disk for your Mac ! Well, this is it, I recommend it a 100%.
It works amazing and smoothly.
Good Job !!!

Although I have liked this program, my feeling is that when user loyalty is not rewarded and a deceptive "upgrade price" is posted, I can no longer trust the developer and will either use the older version or stop using the product if the older version doesn't work.
I'm willing to pay an upgrade price, but don't feel comfortable being tricked.

We're thinking about separating App Store and standalone version even further by clearly marking the one we have on our site as "pro". This makes sense as it already offers some advanced features (scan as administrator, hidden disk space detector) that cannot appear in the App Store version. If this happens, all existing DaisyDisk 2 users will be automatically migrated to "pro" version, but from a certain point we'll stop free migration from the App Store version to standalone.
Whatever decision we make, it will be clearly explained in our blog/twitter.

Will there be an upgrade path from 2.0.6 other than paying full price for the next release?
