Recovery Workflow
- Download Refindo and scan the affected drive for free.

- Choose a paid plan only when you need more recovery.
- Recover selected files to another drive or safe folder.
Best Practices
- Do not pay for any recovery tool before checking whether your files preview.
- Use the free allowance for the most important files first.
- Pick monthly for one short recovery window.
- Pick annual or lifetime if you expect to recover more than once.
Why preview comes before price
A recovered file list is not enough. The file has to open, render, or play. Preview lets you verify the actual result before you decide whether a paid plan is worth it.
- Preview key files first.
- Check large videos and documents carefully.
- Recover a small verified batch before restoring everything.
Choosing a plan
The free plan is best when you need to confirm recoverability or recover a small set. Monthly fits one-off recovery beyond the free allowance. Annual fits repeat recovery over a longer period. Lifetime is the one-time option for people who want permanent access.
- Free: scan, preview, and up to 500 MB.
- Monthly: short-term unlimited recovery.
- Annual or lifetime: better fit for repeated use.
Pricing Scope
What paid plans unlock
Paid plans unlock unlimited recovery volume in Refindo. They do not add unsupported recovery categories such as phone, cloud, NAS, RAID, Linux, or hardware repair.
What the free plan is for
The free plan is not just a teaser. It lets you prove whether the tool finds and previews your files, and in small cases the 500 MB recovery allowance may be enough to finish the job.
