I’ve seen both free and paid duplicate file removers online, and I’m wondering—what’s the real difference? Are paid tools actually more accurate or safer, or is the free software good enough for regular cleanups? I don’t mind paying if it’s worth it, but I’d rather not spend money unnecessarily. Have any of you compared both? I’d love to hear your experiences, especially if you’ve run into issues with false positives or missing features.

Great question! Free duplicate removers often cover basics well but can miss deeper scans or lack advanced filters. Paid tools like DuplicateFilesDeleter usually offer better accuracy, safer deletion options (like automatic backups), and more user-friendly interfaces. I’ve found paid software worth it for peace of mind—fewer false positives and more control. If your cleanup is occasional and simple, free might suffice, but for thorough, safe results, investing can pay off.
