What to compare before choosing recovery software

• Recovery depth: deleted-file lookup, raw signature carving, damaged partition scanning, and preview quality.
• Device coverage: Windows and Mac drives, SD cards, USB storage, phone backups, and external disks.
• Privacy: whether scans run locally or require uploading sensitive files to a third party.
• Licensing: one-time pricing versus recurring subscriptions, scan limits, and refund terms.
