Best for partition management on Windows with a free Standard edition
AOMEI Partition Assistant resizes, merges, splits, clones and migrates partitions on Windows, and Standard is free for personal use. Recovery and cleanup are separate apps, and the yearly Pro plan renews automatically.
Who AOMEI Partition Assistant is for
- Fits if you want a free partition tool for a personal Windows PC
- Makes sense if you'd rather buy a lifetime licence than rent one
Who AOMEI Partition Assistant is not for
- Not for you if you use it for work on Standard, as the free edition is for personal use
- Watch out: the yearly Pro plan renews automatically
- Watch out: Server, Unlimited and Technician editions have their own order pages and prices
- Tight if you want recovery too, as that is a separate paid product

Keep AOMEI Partition Assistant, or make your own?
Keep it
Nothing AOMEI Partition Assistant does is plain enough to make in a weekend. The 3 things listed below take a company.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 152 of the 186 other desktop utilities grade higher. It costs $49.95 a year.
What you could not
- Deleting system files without breaking anything.
- A file manager working directly on your disk.
- A real app for Windows. Something home-made would be a web page.
What this rests on. AOMEI Partition Assistant’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
