Data recovery price list

How much does data recovery cost?

Below are example prices for data recovery procedures for various storage media and types of damage.

Check what costs may occur in cases of data deletion or damage to a hard drive, SSD, server or RAID array, USB flash drive, or memory card.

Each case is different, so in order to estimate the scope of work required to restore access to files, it is necessary to analyze the device and classify the case.

In Poland

We support our clients and also handle mail-in orders from all over the world. Data analysis and recovery are carried out locally in our own laboratory, without intermediaries.

We accept payments by card, bank transfer, cash, and international transfers.

We issue VAT invoices and personalized receipts.

Due to differences in taxation and service regulations around the world, all prices are listed without VAT.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

Is the analysis included in the data recovery price, and what does it cover?

No. The analysis is a separate service, paid in advance (€65 for standard service or €250 for express service). This approach keeps the actual data recovery cost lower than in companies offering a “free diagnosis”.
The analysis includes a detailed examination of the storage device, identification of the type of damage, and assessment of the chances of successful data recovery. Based on this, we classify the case, prepare a report of the performed procedures, and provide an exact quote.

Is payment made after the data has been recovered?

Yes. Payment for the service is made after the client approves the final result, based on the list of recovered files – before the data is delivered.

Should I include a new device for the recovered data along with the damaged drive?

Yes, you can include a new storage device for transferring the recovered files. We can also make the recovered data available for download from our private server.

Should I include a copy of the service request form with the shipment?

No. It’s enough to write the generated order number (received in the confirmation email) on the package or include it inside the parcel.
