Recuva only searches for deleted files. TestDisk supports more tools.

Recuva is a file restoration utility, TestDisk is a partition restoration utility. They perform different functions entirely.

Recuva also phones home regularly and is a general securily risk due to this 'feature'.

It's not 'free' that's BS; it's a TRIAL, without any benefits of actually recovering! You need a category for SCAMWARE.

Because I used Four times and it did work perfectly. In fact, One time the flash drive that I was trying to recover data from was so damaged that it did NOT mount automatically, but, the ddrescue program managed successfully to fetch HUGE amount of data from that very damaged/corrupt flash drive. I would give 9/10.
