Before you choose

Compare free plans and trials

Check whether a tool offers a free plan, a free trial or neither. A free plan may include a recovery limit, while a trial can provide time-limited access to paid functions.

Use the Paid from field to see the maker's starting price, then review what the free option includes before paying.

Match the operating system

Review support for Windows, macOS and Linux before installing software. Listings also cover iOS, Android and self-hosted options.

Choose a tool that matches the device holding the lost files and the computer you will use for recovery.

Check recovery sources

Recovery sources show where a tool can look for lost data. Compare support for local drives, removable media and other sources listed for the product.

Memory card recovery is a separate comparison field, so check it when working with camera cards or similar storage.

Look for RAID and bootable tools

RAID recovery can matter when files are stored across a disk array. Bootable recovery can help when the installed operating system will not start.

Review these fields alongside supported operating systems to match the tool to the storage problem.

Use file preview when available

File preview lets you inspect recoverable content before restoring it. Check this field when you need to identify files before selecting a recovery location.
