Why Data Recovery Costs Vary
Data recovery isn’t a flat-rate service. Costs depend on the severity of damage, type of storage device, and effort required to retrieve your files. Here’s what influences pricing:
Type of Damage
The type of damage drives recovery costs. Logical issues (e.g., deletion, corruption) use standard recovery methods, while physical damage (e.g., hardware failure, water exposure) requires specialized facilities.
Device Complexity
Recovering a standard hard drive (HDD) differs from modern SSDs, RAID arrays, or encrypted devices. Advanced storage tech demands advanced solutions.
Recovery Urgency
While we prioritize all cases, expedited service for time-sensitive recoveries may incur additional costs (discussed upfront).
Labor & Resources
Complex cases may require disassembling drives in certified cleanrooms, custom engineering, or proprietary tools—all factored into your quote.
Why Fixed Pricing Often Fails You
Many companies advertise fixed rates but only cover basic recoveries.
Typical Fixed-Price Pitfalls
“We can’t handle this case.”
“This requires a more expensive tier.”

Our Risk-Free Data Recovery Process
Initial Assessment
Start with a free initial consultation. Our team will review your data loss situation and explain the evaluation fee. This fee covers diagnostics and lab resources. We will provide all the necessary details about the evaluation process before any work begins.
Device Shipment & Evaluation
If you decide to proceed, we will send you a prepaid, insured shipping label. This allows you to securely send your drive to our lab. Once we receive it, our engineers will carefully examine the device. They will determine whether the issue is due to physical damage or logical corruption. This helps us fully understand your situation.
Quote & Recovery Options
After the evaluation, we will send you a detailed quote. It will include the diagnosis, suggested recovery steps, and costs. The price depends on the complexity and urgency of your case. You can choose to proceed with the recovery. If you decide not to, we will return your drive at no extra cost, apart from the initial evaluation fee.
Secure Delivery & Guarantee
Once the recovery is complete, we will transfer your data to a new encrypted drive, ensuring its security. Then, we will securely ship it back to you. The encryption prevents unauthorized access, giving you complete control and peace of mind throughout the process.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I get an estimate for data recovery costs?
To get an accurate estimate, the recovery service will need to conduct a diagnostic evaluation of your device. This evaluation helps determine the condition of the device and the complexity of the data recovery process. Based on this inspection, you will be provided with an exact quote for the recovery services.
Can the data recovery cost change during the recovery process?
No, the cost of data recovery will not change once the process begins. We conduct a thorough inspection of your device initially to assess the complexity and extent of the damage. This allows us to provide you with an exact quote upfront. Once you approve the quoted price and we start the recovery process, the cost remains fixed, regardless of the challenges or additional tools that may be required to complete the recovery.
What does a 'No Data, No Fee' policy mean?
A ‘No Data, No Fee’ policy means that you will not be charged for the data recovery service if the data recovery attempt is unsuccessful. This policy is designed to provide customers with confidence and assurance that they will only pay if their data is successfully recovered.
Why does data recovery from different devices have different costs?
Different devices, like hard drives, SSDs, USB flash drives, and RAID arrays, have varying structures and technologies. For instance, SSDs often require more advanced techniques for successful data recovery than traditional hard drives, reflecting in higher costs. Similarly, RAID arrays, due to their complex configurations, often need more time and expertise to handle, increasing the recovery cost.
Do you offer any payment plan options for data recovery services?
Yes, we offer flexible payment plans to make our data recovery services more accessible. You can choose to pay in installments through PayPal, Klarna, or Affirm, depending on what works best for your budget. This allows you to manage the cost of data recovery without financial strain, ensuring you get the necessary services when you need them.
