Most desktop products install free and provide a meaningful trial surface rather than a time-limited demo: ReiBoot performs Recovery Mode entry and exit at no cost, and 4DDiG scans and previews certain file types before any payment, with the paid upgrade required to preview all data types and to copy recovered files out of the utility. Several mobile apps use a different model, offering three days free before converting to a weekly subscription. The practical consequence is that you can almost always establish whether a tool will work on your specific case before spending anything, and you should.
Paid plans are published openly on the store rather than gated behind a quote, and they are presented as a permanent discount structure with a current price shown against a higher struck-through figure — ReiBoot at $24.95 per month against $86.55, 4uKey at $37.95 against $119.83, 4MeKey at $35.95 against $119.83, UltData for iOS at $45.95 against $153.17, and iAnyGo at $12.95 against $45.95. The AI and PDF line sits far below the device tools, with AI Writer at $4.49 per month against $14.97 and ChatPDF at $4.49 against $49.99. Longer terms and lifetime licences exist alongside the monthly figures, and TechRadar's review of 4DDiG recorded a $59.95 annual and $79.95 lifetime licence plus business packages from $89.95 for up to five PCs — figures that differ from the current store page, which is exactly why the official pricing page should be treated as the only authoritative source. A 30-day money-back guarantee covers all products, but with a narrow exclusion list examined in Limitations below.
It is a vendor catalogue of more than twenty separately licensed programs across four groups — System & Repair, Transfer & Recovery, Utilities & APP, and AI & PDF. Buying one product does not grant access to the others, so identifying the right SKU for your specific problem is the first and most important step.
Yes, with real but bounded utility. ReiBoot enters and exits Recovery Mode free of charge, and 4DDiG scans and previews certain file types before payment, which is enough to determine whether your case is addressable. Copying recovered files out of the tool and previewing all file types require a paid licence, and several mobile apps convert to a weekly subscription after a three-day trial.
Legally and ethically you should be, but the vendor's own terms do not require it. The Terms and Conditions prohibit unlawful use in general terms without imposing any lawful-ownership precondition, and neither the 4uKey product page nor its FAQ requests proof of ownership. Only 4MeKey's precautions add that the tool is aimed at people who have forgotten their own Apple ID or password and that commercial use is not permitted. Activation Lock exists as an anti-theft measure, so the responsibility for lawful use falls entirely on the user.
It depends entirely on the mode. Standard Repair is described as preserving device data while fixing common faults such as a device stuck on the Apple logo. Deep Repair, used for complex failures such as a device that will not power on, is stated by the vendor to involve data loss, and DFU Repair is the most aggressive tier. Always attempt the least destructive mode first.
Independent testing by TechRadar found it recovers deleted files without issue but can struggle with formatted or corrupted drives, and its published cons list limited recovery for formatted and damaged drives. Recovery success is probabilistic and depends heavily on how much the storage has been written to since the loss, which is why you should stop using the device immediately and run a free scan before paying.
Prices are published openly on the store as current figures against higher struck-through reference prices, ranging from $4.49 per month for AI Writer to $45.95 per month for UltData for iOS, with annual and lifetime terms also available. A 30-day money-back guarantee covers all products, but it excludes changing your mind after purchase, failing to read the product description before buying, and not cancelling an automatic subscription before renewal, and the licence is deactivated once a refund is issued.
No, not under the standard licence. The terms grant a personal, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, non-exclusive and revocable licence for non-commercial purposes only, and 4MeKey's precautions repeat that commercial use is not permitted. Repair shops and IT service providers need a different arrangement than the consumer SKUs.
The privacy policy names TENORSHARE (HONGKONG) LIMITED as data controller, states that an EU representative and a Data Protection Officer have been appointed, and enumerates data-subject rights under GDPR, Japan's APPI and California's CCPA as amended by CPRA. For the generative AI features it commits not to use your local or cloud content to train AI models except for content you explicitly submit, and states that data for certain functions is deleted from its servers immediately after processing with no retention.
This varies significantly by product and is a frequent source of disappointment. ReiBoot advertises support up to iOS and iPadOS 27 and runs on Windows 11 through 7, whereas 4MeKey's activation-unlock function covers only iPhone 6 through iPhone X and the first-generation SE, on iOS 12 to 16.3 for Windows and up to 16.7 for Mac. Check the specific product's compatibility table before purchasing.
They should be read with a stated caveat. The Trustpilot score is 3.5 out of 5 across 15,095 reviews, but the distribution is bimodal at 80% five-star and 16% one-star, and Trustpilot labels the company as one that invites its customers to review — a solicited sample that tends to skew positive. Recurring negative themes concern refunds, subscriptions and cancellations rather than whether the software functions.
