The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Dominos rewards points only accrue on orders placed through Domino's own app or website, not orders placed via third party delivery marketplaces, so switching between channels resets the incentive.; WinDirStat it walks the directory tree rather than reading the NTFS master file table, so a full scan takes minutes where WizTree takes seconds on the same drive.
  • They diverge on capability: Dominos covers Order ahead and tracking, WinDirStat covers Treemap visualisation.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Dominos

  • Rewards points only accrue on orders placed through Domino's own app or website, not orders placed via third party delivery marketplaces, so switching between channels resets the incentive.
  • Delivery fees, service charges and driver tip prompts still apply on app orders and can add several dollars to the menu price shown.
  • Order tracking accuracy depends on individual franchise store operations and has been inconsistent in practice at busier locations.
  • Points expire after a period of account inactivity, so infrequent customers can lose accumulated progress toward a free pizza.
  • As with comparable chain apps, using it means giving up order history and location data in exchange for the points programme and occasional app-only deals.

WinDirStat

  • It walks the directory tree rather than reading the NTFS master file table, so a full scan takes minutes where WizTree takes seconds on the same drive.
  • The version most users have installed is the 2007 build, and because it was dormant for so long, search results and download mirrors still point at it.
  • It is Windows only, so a mixed estate needs a different tool for macOS and Linux machines.
  • There is no scheduling, reporting or export for fleet use, so it answers a question on one machine at a time rather than monitoring storage across an organisation.
  • Hard links, junctions and deduplicated volumes can be counted in ways that make the totals disagree with what Windows reports, which causes confusion on servers.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Dominos: Is the Domino's app free?

Yes, joining and using it costs nothing beyond what is ordered.

WinDirStat: Is WinDirStat still maintained?

Yes. It was dormant from around 2007 until new maintainers resumed development and released the 2.x line with multithreaded scanning and current Windows support.

Dominos: Why does Domino's push its own app over delivery marketplaces?

Domino's has stated its own channels avoid the 15 to 30 percent commissions third party delivery marketplaces charge, so it keeps more margin per order.

WinDirStat: Can I use it at work?

Yes. It is GPL licensed with no personal-use restriction, which is the practical advantage over free-for-personal-use alternatives in this category.

Dominos: Do I earn points ordering through Uber Eats or DoorDash instead?

No, Piece of the Pie Rewards only accrues on orders placed directly through Domino's own app or website.

WinDirStat: Why is it slower than WizTree?

Different method. WizTree reads the NTFS master file table directly; WinDirStat traverses directories, which is slower but works on any filesystem, including network shares.

WinDirStat: Does it run on macOS or Linux?

No. Separate projects exist with similar treemap interfaces, but WinDirStat itself is Windows only.
