Pricing for Mac & MacBook data recovery in Spain

Real prices by Mac model and failure type. No hidden fees. No recovery, no fee. Diagnostic communicated within 3–5 business days of receiving your device.

  • From €120 + VAT
  • Final price after analysis
  • Urgent 48–72 h +50%

Pricing by Mac model and failure

Each Mac architecture has a different cost: pre-T2, T2 chip and Apple Silicon require different techniques. The diagnostic identifies which tier applies and we quote a fixed price before any intervention.

  • Logical failure (no Erase All Content)

    APFS corrupt after kernel panic, logical partitions lost due to operator error, files deleted individually from Finder. Does NOT include Erase All Content & Settings or Disk Utility erase: on MacBook with T2/Apple Silicon the FileVault key is wiped cryptographically and the data is unrecoverable.

    €120 – €300+ VAT

  • iMac / Mac mini (removable drive)

    Computers with removable SSD or HDD. Work on a clone of the drive without touching the original.

    €120 – €600+ VAT

  • MacBook with soldered SSD (pre-T2)

    MacBook 2016-2017 with soldered NAND but no Secure Enclave. Chip-off viable with specific preparation.

    €120 – €1,000+ VAT

  • MacBook with T2 chip (2018-2020)

    Intel + Secure Enclave. Requires original-board stabilisation or transplant to compatible donor board.

    €120 – €1,000+ VAT

  • MacBook Apple Silicon (M1 / M2 / M3 / M4)

    SSD bound to the SoC. Board-level intervention to restore voltage and clone the NAND.

    €120 – €1,600+ VAT

  • Liquid damage / logic board

    Coffee, water or soda on the keyboard. Ultrasonic cleaning and repair of critical lines.

    €120 – €1,600+ VAT

Indicative prices. Base prices for normal service (10–20 days). They include diagnostic when the quote is accepted, recovery, secure transfer to a new drive and return shipping. Priority service (5–10 days) adds 15%; urgent service (48–72 h) adds 50%. Prices exclude VAT; the final price is confirmed after the device has been analysed.

Need it sooner?

Shorter turnarounds reserve bench time exclusively for your Mac. The surcharge applies to the ceiling of the base range and is always confirmed before we start.

Normal (10-20 days)

No surcharge

Priority (5-10 days)

+15%

Urgent (48-72 h)

No recovery, no fee

If we don't recover your data after the agreed intervention, you don't pay the recovery fee.

Fixed quote

After diagnostic we send a fixed price. Never billed without your prior written approval.

Original hardware preserved

On T2 and Apple Silicon Macs, board-level work prioritises the paired components that authenticate and decrypt the storage.

Why does Mac pricing vary so much?

A logical case on a stable Intel Mac may only require imaging and filesystem work. T2 and Apple Silicon cases can require board-level diagnosis and repair while preserving the original paired security and storage hardware.

That is why the table shows ranges: the written diagnostic confirms architecture, viable method and fixed price before intervention.

Cost factors

  • Mac architecture (pre-T2 / T2 / Apple Silicon)
  • Condition of the original paired hardware
  • Microsoldering hours
  • Liquid damage extent
  • Normal 10–20 days · Priority 5–10 days (+15%) · Urgent 48–72 h (+50%)

Pricing questions

How much does Mac data recovery cost in Spain?
The normal-service base range for MacBook is €120 – €1,600, depending on the failure and technical complexity. Priority service (5–10 days) adds 15%; urgent service (48–72 h) adds 50%. Prices exclude VAT. The final price is confirmed in writing after the device has been analysed.
Why is recovery on a MacBook Air M1/M2 so much more expensive?
Apple Silicon integrates the storage controller and security functions in the SoC, while NAND is soldered to the logic board. Recovery usually means stabilising or repairing the original board so its paired hardware can authenticate and decrypt the volume; cost depends on the damaged circuit and bench time.
Can you recover data from a MacBook with a T2 chip?
It can be viable when the original paired hardware and required credentials can be made operational. T2 protects the storage keys, so moving NAND or fitting a replacement logic board does not by itself expose the files. Viability is confirmed after board-level diagnosis.
Is the diagnostic free?
Collection and diagnostic are free of charge. If you decline the quote, the diagnostic costs €45 + VAT, plus administration costs.
What does 'no recovery, no fee' mean?
If you authorize the quoted recovery and we cannot recover the agreed data, you do not pay the recovery fee. The €45 + VAT diagnostic fee and administration costs apply when we issue a quote and you decline it.
Do you charge extra for urgent cases?
Standard turnaround on Mac is 7–14 business days. Priority and urgent options are shown directly in the calculator and always quoted upfront.
