How much does data recovery cost?
Prices vary depending on the type of media and the severity of the failure. Diagnosis is free and without obligation. If the recovery fails, only an attempt fee is charged — 80% of the cost is only due if your data is actually recovered.
How much does smartphone data recovery cost?
The cost of smartphone data recovery depends on the nature of the failure and the necessary intervention method. As an indication:
- Software failure or accidental deletion — less complex intervention
- Broken screen or phone that no longer starts — hardware intervention required
- Water damage or severe physical damage — chip-off extraction, the most technical intervention
Our pricing policy is results-oriented: if no data is recovered, only a contribution to the diagnostic costs is requested. The complete diagnosis is free and carried out in our Swiss laboratory within 3 hours. Use our price calculator to get a personalized estimate in less than a minute.
