Your iPhone says storage is full, and you do not know what to delete. SpaceFresh scans your library for free, shows you exactly what is eating space, and lets you remove only what you choose. A private storage cleaner for photos, videos, contacts and files, on your device. No ads. No account. No uploads. Nothing deleted automatically. DELETE DUPLICATE & SIMILAR PHOTOS • Find exact duplicate photos and videos • Group similar photos and similar videos, with the best shot suggested • Review every group before anything is removed DELETE LARGE VIDEOS • Large videos sorted from biggest to smallest, so one tap frees the most space • Screenshots, screen recordings and blurry photos in their own lists • Images saved from social and messaging apps, shown with a clear badge SWIPE TO DELETE PHOTOS Swipe right to keep, left to add to your removal list. Nothing goes until you confirm, and every swipe can be undone. COMPRESS VIDEOS & PHOTOS Make smaller copies of big videos and photos and keep the look. Compare each copy with its original and check that the date, location, favorites and albums carried over. The original stays until you delete it. MERGE CONTACTS Find repeated contacts, review and combine them. A backup is saved first, and you can undo a merge. PROTECT WHAT MATTERS Albums, folders and Favorites you protect never appear in a cleanup list and are never removed. SMART SUGGESTIONS Old screenshots and big recordings are flagged for review, with an optional monthly reminder. FILES CLEANUP Choose folders in the Files picker (iCloud Drive, On My iPhone or iPad, or a provider folder). SpaceFresh checks only the folders you pick, never the rest of your device. • Duplicate files, even when renamed • Similar and edited files: "report 1" and "report 2", re-saved documents, PDFs, Office files, look-alike images • Large files (25 MB and up), old files (untouched for over a year), empty files • Installers and archives (zip, dmg, ipa), with unpacked zips flagged • Browse by type, search, sort and preview The newest copy is always kept, nothing is deleted automatically, and files changed since the scan are skipped. A Keep list hides files from suggestions. Deleted files go to Recently Deleted in the Files app when the folder supports it; otherwise they are removed permanently, and SpaceFresh says so first. iCloud files that are not downloaded are listed but never counted as freed space. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Scanning and analysis happen on your device • No ads, no account, no cloud processing, no uploads • Optional Face ID lock • After a cleanup, a short guide shows how to empty Recently Deleted so the space really comes back • Available in 20 languages FREE TO SCAN, PRO TO CLEAN WITHOUT LIMITS Scanning, reviewing and swiping are free, and so is reviewing files. Cleaning screenshots, blurry photos and images saved from social apps is free too. A starter allowance lets you try up to 50 removals (photos and files share it), 1 compression and 3 contact merges. SpaceFresh Pro lifts those limits and adds removal of similar and edited files and checking more than 2 folders.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Storage Cleaner at 100% against NuKey's 62%. Storage Cleaner also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4). NuKey's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly) and ratings volume (50 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Storage Cleaner sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and NuKey sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Storage Cleaner holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NuKey has 50 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Storage Cleaner's written reviews are positive against 62% of NuKey's.
Storage Cleaner ships an update weekly, NuKey every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
