It makes the interface look quite messy.Īdvertisement is not displayed when you open archives or when you extract them.

The main Bandizip interface displays an advertisement banner in the top lower right corner and a register icon in the upper left corner. It may be used in commercial environments on the other hand as well. The terms that are displayed when you run the installer reveal that the free version is limited when it comes to certain features (the ones mentioned above), and that advertisement is displayed. Advertisement is still listed as non-removable in the free version. Sure, it would be lovely if all features were also present in the free version, but companies need to earn revenue to finance the continued development of the application, and one way of doing so, is to make sure that the commercial versions are attractive from a feature point of view. Has anything changed since the release of Bandizip 7? Bandizip, the second lookĪ look at the Bandizip homepage confirms that the limitations of the free version are still all there this is not that much of a problem in my opinion, as the features were not part of previous versions. To the developer's credit, the features that are limited or not available have not been available in previous versions of Bandizip.

These features, the option to repair archives, password recovery, password management, antimalware scan, or image previews in archives, are not included in the free version at all or severely limited (only one password can be stored in the Standard Edition password manager). The free version came with limitations the company did not take away features, but it excluded the free version from having new features that it unlocked only in the commercial versions. An Enterprise version was also added to the lineup.

Bandizip would be offered as a free and commercial product, and the free product would get advertisement and would only be provided as an online installer.īandizip 7.0 launched on March 3, 2020, and with it came the free version, now called Standard Edition, and the commercial version, called Professional Edition.

This led to my 2014 review of Bandizip in which I expressed the opinion that it was probably the best file archiver for Windows at the time my opinion did not change until late 2019 when the company behind the product announced major changes coming to Bandizip 7.

It was convenient to use, supported all the archive types that I required, and did not put any distractions on the screen while it was being used. The file archiver Bandizip was my go-to program on Windows for all file archive related operations for a long time.
