In their own words
DiskInternals Partition Recovery
DiskInternals Partition Recovery scans readable storage for files on lost, deleted, formatted, RAW, inaccessible, corrupted, or damaged Windows partitions. Its recovery modes include Fast recovery, Reader mode, and Full recovery, which uses deep scanning and virtual file-system reconstruction. Sources include HDDs, SSDs, external and USB drives, memory cards, disk images, supported virtual or forensic containers, and readable logical storage exposed from RAID, NAS, SAN, or Windows Dynamic Disks. Remote Ext2/3/4 sources are accessible over SFTP.
Supported file systems include NTFS, FAT, ReFS, and Ext2/3/4, with recovery modes varying by type. The software supports MBR, GPT, and EFI layouts. Its evaluation version allows scanning, reviewing results, and previewing supported files, but saving or exporting recovered files requires a license. Source access is read-only: the software says it does not rewrite or repair the original partition. The application is for Windows; Linux and macOS file systems can be used as sources, and the application may run on those systems through Wine. Pricing starts at $39.95 one-time.
Dr.Fone Toolkit
Dr.Fone Toolkit is a phone management suite for device management, system repair, data recovery, and file transfer. Its Full Toolkit includes screen unlock, data recovery, virtual location, WhatsApp transfer, phone transfer, data eraser, system repair, and password manager features. Dr.Fone Basic can transfer, manage, back up, and restore data across devices, and mirror a mobile screen to a computer. Recovery sources include iOS and Android devices, cloud and local backups, and supported broken phones; file preview is available. WhatsApp Transfer supports chat history and attachments for WhatsApp, WeChat, LINE, Kik, and Viber, and transfers WhatsApp data between iOS and Android. Tools are listed for Windows, Mac, iPhone, Android, and Web. The software is free to download, with some features available to try before buying premium features. The pricing page advertises a 3-day app trial with no charge before Day 3. It says phone data is processed locally on the computer rather than uploaded to its cloud. The listed plans include $79.95 per month, $99.95 per year, and $115.95 per month for the Perpetual Plan, described as a one-time purchase.
