Of the four applications mentioned in this review, only EaseUS offers a one-time payment of $149.95 for a lifetime license.īasic home and small business plans cost upward of $80 per year (OnTrack EasyRecovery for Home and Stellar Info Professional, for example, cost $79.00 per year).Īdvanced plans for technicians can be much more expensive.
Most data recovery software today are available with an annual subscription. Most providers offer a free version, as well as a variety of paid plans (Image credit: CCleaner) The same goes for recovering an unbootable device, which is only supported by the paid versions of both Stellar and EaseUS. Only the paid version of Recuva ($24.95/year) by CCleaner and the Toolkit ($299) version of Stellar support virtual disk recovery, for example. As a result, they tend not to be supported by free versions.įinally, advanced drive management options are usually unavailable with free versions. Damaged files are particularly difficult to recover, as it requires a more sophisticated scanning process to recognize the bits and pieces of the original file type. The Premium ($99) version of Stellar Data Recovery supports repairing damaged video and sound files. The extent to which files can be recovered also varies.
The free version of Stellar Data Recovery, for example, doesn’t support CDs or DVDs, nor Mac and Linux file systems. All paid and free versions will enable you to scan your computer’s internal hard drives, but most free software stops there. Another common divergent feature relates to the types of media supported.
