How should I decide?
Scan first, for free. Once you see the numbers and know the photos or files you want are really in the backup, decide whether to buy. If what you need isn't there, you don't need to spend anything.
Where do I buy it?
Inside the LAILOLA app, as a Mac App Store in-app purchase. On a new Mac, restore it with the same Apple Account in Settings > LAILOLA Pro. Refunds follow Apple's policy and are requested from Apple.
Is there a Windows version?
The Windows version is coming soon to the Microsoft Store, free. Pro is a one-time license key you buy from Polar in your browser: US$19.99 (the checkout page shows the final price), not a subscription.
