The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| 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. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Windows home users who want free partition management
- People upgrading to an SSD who want OS migration in the same tool
- Technicians and MSPs who need Technician or Unlimited licensing
Worth knowing
- Windows only; the Mac product on the site, NTFS for Mac, is a separate program.
- Server, Unlimited and Technician editions are sold on their own order pages with separate prices, not covered here.
- The yearly Pro plan renews automatically; a 90-day money-back guarantee is stated on the order page.
- Data recovery and PC cleanup are separate paid products, though the site also offers free versions of each.
