Disk Drill is CleverFiles' data recovery software for Mac and Windows, pulling lost files and partitions back from drives, phones, memory cards and RAID.
Before paying, run the free Disk Drill Basic: it previews every recovery method and recovers up to 100 MB at no cost, so you'll see whether PRO can reach your files.
CleverFiles, the company behind Disk Drill, dates its first release to 2009 and states its mission as protecting personal data with affordable tools for everyday technical problems. Its listed areas of expertise include do-it-yourself recovery, disk space management, data shredding, file systems and encryption, and backup.
The current Disk Drill 6 adds advanced camera recovery, byte-to-byte backups, a HEX view for inspecting disks and partitions, and recovery of lost ReFS partitions. Besides computers and phones, the app can scan sources such as GoPro cameras, Kindles, disk images and Time Machine backups. Editions run from the free Basic version to PRO, Expert and Enterprise, the apps and websites are offered in 16 languages, and the support team works across European and US Eastern time zones.

Disk Drill shipping, returns and perks
Editions
Disk Drill Basic is free, and PRO, Expert and Enterprise are the paid editions; PRO comes as a subscription or a lifetime license.
Free recovery
Recovering up to 100 MB costs nothing, and you can preview results from all recovery methods before you buy.
Cancelling PRO
A PRO subscription can be cancelled any time; the app keeps working to the end of the billing period, then stops renewing.
Auto-renewal
Disk Drill subscriptions renew on their own, so you have to cancel to avoid the next charge.
Enterprise
A cancelled Enterprise subscription stays active through the end of its annual period.
Disk Drill 6 upgrade
Anyone who bought Disk Drill for Windows or Mac on or after December 1, 2024 gets the Disk Drill 6 upgrade free.
Free disk tools
S.M.A.R.T. health monitoring, cleanup, a duplicate finder, a bootable recovery drive and backups come with the app.
The Disk Drill deal listed here is a banner offer, not a code: owners of Disk Drill 1-5 can get 50% off Disk Drill 6.
It's meant for people upgrading from an older version, so it won't lower the price for a first-time buyer.
First, see if you need to pay anything at all.
Past PRO and Enterprise buyers can request Disk Drill 6 free, and so can anyone who bought on or after December 1, 2024.
New users should scan with Basic first and preview what it finds.
If the files you need fit within 100 MB, the free allowance may handle the whole recovery.
More ways to save at Disk Drill
Pick the license that matches the job.
A PRO subscription suits a one-off rescue: recover the files, cancel, and the app runs until the billing period ends without renewing.
A lifetime license fits better if you expect to recover data again on another drive.
The bundled S.M.A.R.T. monitoring can flag a failing disk early, and the free backups and bootable recovery drive mean you may not need a separate utility for that.
