Bandizip vs BetterZip

Bandizip is an archiver for compressing and extracting files on Windows and macOS. It creates formats including ZIP, 7Z, ZIPX, EXE, TAR, and ISO, and extracts more than 40 formats, including RAR and RAR5. It supports multi-volume and high-capacity compression, smart extraction, and editing files inside an archive. AES-256 encryption is available, and 7Z archives can encrypt filenames. On Windows, archive scanning uses the system antivirus through Microsoft AMSI and requires Windows 10 or later with real-time protection enabled. The free Standard Edition includes ads and limited features; its malware scan is restricted to archived files smaller than 1 MB and cannot detect malware in every archive or format. Professional Edition adds a password manager, ZIP archive repair, password recovery, and image previews inside archives. It costs 30.00 USD once for one user on up to five PCs at a time. Enterprise Edition costs 20.00 USD once per single-PC license, with a minimum purchase of two. Windows support covers versions 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11; macOS requires version 10.13 or later.
