Wondershare’s apps compared: Filmora, PDFelement, Dr.Fone, Recoverit and UniConverter — subscription or perpetual?
Wondershare sells a family of apps that share one store, one refund policy (with an important exception) and one way of discounting. If you are deciding between a yearly licence and a one-time licence, or between Dr.Fone and MobileTrans, this guide puts the facts side by side. Prices were read on 14 October 2026 from the official stores, in USD.

What each app is for
Filmora is the video editor (timeline, templates, AI captions and effects). PDFelement edits, converts and OCRs PDFs. Dr.Fone is the phone toolkit: data recovery, screen unlock, system repair, WhatsApp transfer. MobileTrans is the lighter phone-to-phone and WhatsApp transfer tool. Recoverit recovers deleted files from computers and drives. UniConverter converts, compresses, downloads and records video. EdrawMind is the mind-mapping app.
The overlaps: Dr.Fone includes transfer tools, so you do not need MobileTrans as well; Recoverit is for computers and drives, Dr.Fone’s Data Recovery for phones.
Yearly or perpetual: how Wondershare prices them
Most apps offer a yearly subscription that auto-renews and a perpetual licence that is one payment for the current major version. On 14 October 2026: Filmora Basic $49.99 a year or Perpetual shown at $79.99; PDFelement $79.99–$89.99 a year or perpetual PDFelement 13 from $51.99–$61.99; Dr.Fone Full Toolkit $99.95 a year or $115.95 one-time; Recoverit Standard $79.99 a year or $139.99 lifetime; UniConverter (Windows) $45.99 a year or $55.99 one-time; MobileTrans $39.99 a year or $39.99 one-time; EdrawMind $59 a year or $198 perpetual.
Rule of thumb: if you will use the app for more than about 18 months and do not care about the next major version, perpetual wins. If you want upgrades, cloud storage and AI credits (Filmora, PDFelement), the yearly plan is the one that includes them. Perpetual licences are per platform — Windows and Mac are sold separately.
The refund split: 30 days for some, 7 days for others
Wondershare’s refund policy gives 30 days from purchase for most products bought directly, under its accepted circumstances (a technical problem support cannot fix within 7 days, duplicate purchase, wrong product). But Dr.Fone, MobileTrans, Recoverit, Repairit and a few others get only 7 days. Change of mind is never covered, and auto-renewal charges are excluded if a reminder was sent.
Practical consequence: with the 7-day products, run the recovery or transfer immediately after buying, so you are inside the window if it fails.
Trials: what the free versions really let you do
Filmora: unlimited time, every tool, watermark on export. PDFelement: 14 days, watermark on saves, no conversion or OCR. Dr.Fone: scan and preview only; transfers move a few items. Recoverit: scan, preview, and recover 100–500 MB free (Wondershare’s pages disagree). UniConverter: converts one third of each file. MobileTrans: moves about 10 items. EdrawMind: 100 topics, watermarked exports.
In every case the free version is enough to find out whether the app can do your job — which is the only thing a trial is for.
How to pay less (four Kuponaut codes, 10% off through 31 Dec 2026)
On 10 November 2026 Wondershare set up exclusive Kuponaut codes in its Awin affiliate programme, each for 10% off through 31 December 2026: SAF-KUPONAUT-FXD10 for Filmora, SAF-KUPONAUT-PE10 for PDFelement bundles and Team/Business plans (1–10 users), SAF-KUPONAUT-DF10 for Dr.Fone and SAF-KUPONAUT-DR10 for selected Recoverit plans. We applied all four at checkout the same day; for example the Filmora Advanced Annual Plan went from $29.99 to $26.99 (USD cart opened from Turkey, before tax). The codes go in the “I have a coupon” box on the cart page and are not valid on educational offers. Wondershare's other discounts are applied on the store page without a code: an automatic “extra 10% off” was running on every store on 14 October 2026, and each product runs Halloween (late October) and Black Friday (November) sales with larger cuts. The education hub lists student discounts — Filmora up to 40%, PDFelement up to 69%, UniConverter up to 60%, Dr.Fone up to 50%, Recoverit 30%, EdrawMind up to 33% — verified through Student Beans.
Watch the checkout: some carts pre-tick add-ons (a Relumi AI trial with Recoverit, a Dr.Fone App trial with MobileTrans) that become paid subscriptions after a few days. Untick what you did not choose.
