Free and paid versions of iCare Data Recovery: what is the difference between them?

Both versions of the app, Free and Pro, operate only in read mode. This means that they don't make any changes in a hard drive and therefore are completely safe for your computer.

Manufacturers promise up to 90% recovery of lost information via iCare data recovery software. In practice, the claimed figures don't always correspond to the real situation. Probably the manufacturers were talking about the perfect conditions when deleted data hadn't been overwritten and not a lot of time had passed since the moment of deletion).

The features of the app free edition:

• it recovers deleted files from the PC Recycle Bin;
• retrieves data deleted by mistake;
• has the feature of extended recovery: searches for lost data on the majority of digital devices.

The flaws of the free version of iCare Data Recovery:

• isn't updated automatically;
• isn't suitable for commercial use;
• can't recover deleted JPG files;
• often "can't detect" the information missing as the result of disk formation.

The features of iCare Data Recovery Pro app:

• recovers up to 100% of lost information in any format;
• it recovers deleted files from the PC Recycle Bin;
• deep scanning: retrieves data missing after accidental formatting on all types of devices;
• recovers files that disappeared as the result of unexpected software failures (due to system problems, virus attacks and other unclear reasons);
• updates automatically;
• customer support is available via email;
• is suitable for commercial use.

The trial-version of iCare Data Recovery Pro is limited to 20 MB. The license key costs $70 for individual users and from $95 for corporate clients.

The interfaces of both variants of the utility are quite similar: they're user-friendly and even an inexperienced user can figure out how they work. The free and paid versions work with quite the same speed: they find and recover information within 10 minutes.
