PST Repair Kit review
A low-cost option for previewing and selectively recovering Outlook PST and OST data.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
PST Repair Kit is designed to recover data from damaged Microsoft Outlook PST and OST files. It serves individuals and businesses that need to restore emails, attachments, contacts, calendars, tasks, notes, and folder structures from Outlook data files. The product is available as a Windows desktop application or as a browser-based online repair service, giving users a choice between installed recovery and web access.
Pricing is split across four paid options. Online Repair costs $10 one-time and provides browser-based PST recovery with a free preview before payment. The Personal License costs $39 one-time, while the Business License costs $59 one-time and the Site License costs $99 one-time; each is listed for Windows desktop PST and OST recovery. The pricing structure keeps the entry point low for a single online repair, while the desktop licenses cover installed PST and OST recovery. There is no free plan, so ongoing use requires a paid option.
The standout capability is the combination of preview, selective recovery, and broad export support. Users can choose folders and Outlook objects, reconstruct folder hierarchies, and export recovered content to PST, MSG, EML, or VCF. The software supports ANSI and Unicode Outlook files, password-protected and encrypted supported files, and large PST and OST files, including files over 2 GB. Choose PST Repair Kit when Outlook PST or OST recovery is the priority and a low one-time price matters. It is less suitable for users who need MBOX or EDB recovery, or who require desktop use on macOS, iOS, or Android; the installed application requires Windows, while those platforms are addressed through browser access.
