      1. Don’t have any experience of recovering data from Recuva software till yet. So can’t say which is better among two. Only used Stellar free data recovery software once, completely satisfied with the output.

      2. Recuva and Stellar are both excellent data recovery software. In fact, I had tried both of them in past. Due to faster scanning engine, stellar is little ahead (personal experience)

      3. My last data recovery experience with the free edition of Stellar data recovery was very nice. Most of my lost audios and videos are recovered back with the help of stellar software. I am happy that the recovery cost for all this is zero. Really appreciate the software.
