AnyTrans review
A focused choice for iPhone backups, selective transfers, and Apple content management.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Sep 2026
AnyTrans is desktop software from iMobie for transferring, managing, exporting, and backing up phone data. It runs on Windows and macOS, with iOS devices as its main focus, and handles iPhone, iPad, and iPod content such as photos, music, messages, contacts, app data, WhatsApp data, iCloud content, and iTunes libraries. It suits people moving between iOS devices, switching from Android to iPhone, exporting phone data to a computer, or maintaining more selective backups than a full-device workflow provides.
The published plans show four purchase options. The 1-Month Subscription costs $35.99 per month, covers unlimited devices, and allows one computer with automatic monthly renewal. The 1-Year Subscription costs $39.99 per year with the same device and computer limits and automatic yearly renewal. The One-Time Purchase costs $59.99, includes a lifetime plan and lifetime free updates, and covers unlimited devices on one computer. The $79.99 Family Plan adds coverage for five computers, with a lifetime plan and lifetime free updates. A three-day trial is available, but there is no free plan.
AnyTrans fits Apple-centered workflows that need phone-to-phone transfer, phone-to-computer export, backup preview, extraction, restoration, batch iOS app and app-data transfer, or scheduled wireless backups. Its ecosystem connections include iTunes, iCloud, WhatsApp, LINE, and Viber. The product is a stronger match for selective iPhone management and messaging-app transfer than for broad, two-way Android support, since the listed Android workflow transfers to iPhone. Choose it for detailed iOS backup and migration tasks; choose an alternative if you need a free tier, wider Android coverage, or a subscription that covers multiple computers.
