EaseUS Todo PCTrans vs Super Grate

EaseUS Todo PCTrans transfers data, applications, user accounts and personal files to a new PC or disk. It offers PC-to-PC transfer, Backup & Restore and App Migration modes. The Pro page also describes migrating accounts, passwords, profiles, personalization and settings, and recovering files and programs from an unbootable computer through its old hard drive. Backup files can be saved to a computer, USB external drive, network drive, Dropbox or OneDrive. The product is for Windows PCs, with the Pro page listing Windows 11 support. Todo PCTrans Free costs nothing and limits transfers to 2 GB of data and 5 programs; account transfer is listed. The Free edition excludes dead-computer recovery and program-key scanning. Pro Monthly costs $49.95 a month, Pro Yearly costs $59.95 a year, and Pro Lifetime Upgrades costs $69.95, paid once; each covers two computers. Server costs $299 a year for two servers, and Technician costs $399 a year for multiple PCs or servers and multiple-client service. EaseUS says it uses encryption and other measures to protect data in transit and storage.

Super Grate is a free, open-source Windows utility for backing up and migrating user profiles through a graphical interface to Microsoft's User State Migration Tool (USMT). It supports local use on non-domain PCs and remote operations on computers joined to an Active Directory domain. For remote work, operators can select computers through Active Directory filters for hostname, description, or organizational unit. Profiles can be saved to a backup store and restored to a destination computer, with an option to set a different destination username. The maker says it accounts for files, media, contacts, emails, Windows settings, program data, and internet settings. It can run from a network share with shared backup storage, configuration, and logging, or from an external drive or thumb drive. The quick start guide says to run the downloaded executable; installation is not required. The product lists compatibility from Windows 7 through Windows 11 and is licensed under GPL-3.0. Remote operations rely on WMI, and the remote computer must be online while the operator has administrator access.
