Quick answer: choose Files by Google if you want a completely free tool that also manages files and clears junk. Choose Mopie if your space goes to near-identical photos, similar videos or WhatsApp media: it groups them, keeps the best one locked, and lets you review everything before deleting. Both have no ads and share no data with third parties.

We read about 500 Google Play reviews of 14 cleaner apps before building Mopie. The top complaints, and Mopie's answer:
If Files by Google already keeps your phone tidy, you may not need anything else. If you still run out of space because of photos, videos or WhatsApp, Mopie finds the near-duplicates and chat media that a general cleanup misses, and it's still ad-free and on-device. Many people use both.
