ClearQuote vs. Secure Data Recovery
Secure Data Recovery is a certified, security-focused lab operating since 2007. Here is how their per-case pricing compares to our flat rate.
The honest summary
Secure Data Recovery starts every case with a free diagnostic in an audited lab, then gives a fixed-price quote that they commit not to exceed for the outlined work — backed by a “No Data, No Recovery Fee” guarantee.
It's a solid, transparent-within-the-quote model with strong certifications (SSAE 18, ISO 9001). The catch is the same as the rest of the industry: the price is per-case and only known after diagnosis. They've publicly argued flat-rate labs are incentivized to give up on hard cases — we counter that by only charging on a genuine, successful recovery.
Secure Data Recovery gives you a firm quote after diagnosis. ClearQuote gives you the same firm price — $1,200 — before you ship, so there's no waiting to find out.
