First let me make it clear I'm talking about 2 different things:

Storage Check -- the Nokia app
Storage Sense -- the MS App that comes with WP8.1

Ok, that said, they are reporting different values.

Storage Check (Nokia) - 7.4 GB total (total doesn't add up because there are some other small things I'm not including)
Apps: 3.5 GB
Maps: 343 MB
Temp files: 125 MB
System: 1.9 GB
Other: 1.5 GB

Storage Sense (WP 8.1) - 7.5GB used total (total doesn't add up because there are some other small things I'm not including)
Apps+games: 4.5GB
Maps: 359 MB
System: 2.63 GB
Temp: 195 MB
Other: 79 MB

So the big discrepancy to me is that Storage Check is counting some apps+games and system files as "other" while the WP 8.1 app does not. I'm guessing that I should "trust" the MS one since it's newer. The Nokia app has pretty much always reported > 1GB of "other" use since I've had the phone.

Just wondering if anyone else is noticing the same thing?
