I'll be honest -- I haven't tried any of the alternatives, BUT with that said, I don't think I need to. This thing is just a solid utility that allows me to see exactly what is using my space and where I can make the cuts to get my system back on track.
Hell, in its scans of the drives it does a better job than most recovery software I've tried, and that isn't even the selling point of TreeSize!
Works (FAST!! Like.. absurdly so), fairly easy to use, and that's all I really need.
Comments and Reviews
I have loved, and continue to love, TreeSize Free for many, many years (more than 10 years and counting). Whenever I get a new computer it is one of the first things I install.
It is simple, fast and unbloated. So many disk usage analytic tools waste their efforts on fancy looking charts but don't help the user with their most essential goal - to quickly identify exactly what is using the most space on their storage device.
TreeSize Free, however, excels at this. It quickly analyzes your hard drive (for example, one of my drives had over 480,000 files using over 950G of space, TS Free analyzed the entire drive in under 20 seconds). It presents your entire drive as an interactive tree sorted by file size (or even file counts, if you prefer), allowing you to expand or collapse each directory so you can quickly zoom in on exactly what you need to remove in order to free up the most space in the shortest amount of time.
As an example, I launched TS Free on one of my computers. This one has a 1TB drive but less than 60G free space remaining. I knew it had lots of downloads and photos - but not that much! What was taking up so much space?? It took TS Free 17 seconds to analyze this drive. Right away the problem is revealed - over 460G is consumed by 18 files in "C:\System Volume Information". After a quick online search I found that these are system restore points, and the amount of space they occupy is configurable via the system protection utility in W7 (but that's a topic for another day). All I had to do was adjust the system protection options to reduce the restore point disk consumption. But the important point here is that I quickly got to this solution with excellent assistance from TreeSize Free.
The biggest limitation of the free version (AFAIK) is that it won't analyze network drives. That hasn't been a big issue for me, so I haven't had to opt for the Pro version.

Crashes everytime I use it (and I have plenty of RAM). Version is older version, but I got tired of developer constantly hitting up for more $$$ for additional updates that don't fix anything.
Try the free version (TreeSize Free), it is awesome and does not hit up for $$$, ever. The biggest limitation in the free version is that it doesn't support network drives. If that's a limitation you can live with, then definitely try the free version.

Best one out there for windows.

I've used it for years for cleaning my PC. It's easy and powerful. Best tool for manual cleaning or just to see what clutters your drive.
Does exactly what WinDirStat, but much faster. The free version was enough for me.
While I always had problems with WinDir Stat crashing when scanning large directories, the free, portable version of TreeSize completed the same task without any issues and quickly too (3+ TB with 80K files in less than a minute)
Using this I managed to clean up my external harddrive from things I didn't remember having on it, very handy.
