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. - **Value for money: B.** Pro Lifetime is $59.95 one-time for 2 PCs, under two years of a typical utility subscription. Yearly is $49.95 for 2 PCs. - **Free plan and trial: B.** Standard is freeware for partitioning a personal hard drive. One person could live on it. - **Features: C.** Resize, merge, split, clone, wipe and bootable media, but data recovery and PC cleanup are separate apps. - **Ease of use: C.** No rating on record. Partition work has many options and some risk. - **Platforms and integrations: D.** Windows only; the site's Mac product is a separate program. These are ToolGPA's own grades.

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. - You could not: Deleting system files without breaking anything. - You could not: A file manager working directly on your disk. - You could not: A real app for Windows. Something home-made would be a web page. A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool.
