#1 What is iSkysoft?

iSkysoft Data Recovery is deemed to be an eminent data recovery software. It basically set a three-step model: scan–preview–recover and its multifunctional services appeal to people.


In order to expand user base, iSkysoft Recovery surprisingly designs two versions for diverse operating systems: for Windows and for Mac.


However, it's hard to design a perfect recovery tool. iSkysoft is not an exception. Next, we will introduce the dual characteristics of this software:

#2 How to Use iSkysoft to Recover Lost Data?

On account that I use iSkysoft Data Recovery for Windows on my PC, this tutorial will focus on recovering deleted files from Win 10. But don't worry. The steps for Mac are similar on the whole.


Step 1. Download iSkysoft and Install on PC

Enter the app store to download iSkysoft Data Recovery for Windows and install it on your PC. Choose the file types you want to recover at the first interface.


Step 2. Scan Locations Where Files Get Deleted

At the next step, you need to select a specific drive to make a targeted scan. Generally, the drive where you lost your files will be your choice.

Step 3. Recover lost data with iSkysoft

Note: there is a special case, to restore chrome history, the steps are slightly not the same.


#3 Is iSkysoft Free or Pricing?

Although it provides iSkysoft free trial, it's not completely free. You need to purchase an iSkysoft data registration code.


There are now two major pricing plans for iSkysoft Data Recovery Pro and iSkysoft Data Recovery Ultimate and the prominent difference between these two versions is that Data Recovery Ultimate supports OS Crash Recovery, so you can make a decision based on your own needs.


·Pricing Plan of Data Recovery Pro

A one-year license only costs at $39.95, but this license can only be registered on one PC. Registration on more PC needs extra payment, depending on the number of computers. Or you can choose a Lifetime license which just prices at $49.95 for one PC.


·Pricing Plan of iSkysoft Data Recovery Ultimate

Higher prices are determined due to the extensive function, a one-year license for one PC costs at $59.95 and a Lifetime license charges 10 busks more, saying $69.95.


The list above just illustrates the basic pricing plans of iSkysoft Data Recovery for Windows, the specific price needs to evaluation on your specifications, or you can make an inquiry to ask for a detailed quotation on its website.


#4 UI Design and Recovery Rate

After using iSkysoft, I will keep on a neutral stand. For the basic function, it is pretty an ace at data recovery and I'm really gobsmacked about its strong capability to fix my problem.

#5 Summary

While this kind of software has flaws in terms of exterior design. And as for recovery rate, that's what needed to be improved for iSkysoft Data Recovery. And I would introduce an alternative at a lower price.



Part 2. Best iSkysoft Data Recovery Alternative – AnyRecover

After the iSkysoft review, to make up the flaw of iSkysoft Data Recovery, I also want to recommend another recovery tool, AnyRecover. It covers two versions for users on Windows and Mac.


It's pleasant that AnyRecover supports 1000+ type formats to recover. Next, I will comb through the detailed features of AnyRecover.


#1 What Does AnyRecover Do?

1. 1000+ file types are supported to recover - including image, audio, video, documents and other infrequent file types.

2. Compatible with all memory devices - extensive compatibility allows users to recover lost data from corrupted SD Card, flash drive, memory card, USB, camcorders and so forth.

5. Get the ultimate features at $49.95 on Win


#2 How to use AnyRecover's All-Round Recovery?

Simple and Deep Scan is feasible in AnyRecover. To save time and energy, I decide to start from a deep scan mode, so the following steps are on the basis of All-Round Recovery mode.


Before commence, remember to download AnyRecover and install it on your PC.

Step 1. Install AnyRecover and Enter All-Round Recovery Mode

Launch AnyRecover, 6 modes are provided on the interface, click on the last one "All-Round Recovery" to move on.

Something may go wrong if you save the recovered files at the original locations, so keep them at another place would be better.

The Bottom Line

That's my iSkysoft Data Recovery review. Both these tools have its advantages and disadvantages. It's hard to draw a conclusion that which one is the best. You can refer to my review and make up your mind on your own position. This review is in the context of Windows systems, but the operation on Mac are so similar that you don't need to be anxious.
