The Buying Decision
When files disappear on a Mac or a phone, you need a recovery tool that matches your situation. The two listings here take very different approaches. EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard for Mac is a software subscription, while Guidance Software Neutrino is a forensic phone data recovery setup with a carry case. One is a lower-priced digital tool; the other is a higher-priced hardware kit.
Quick Verdict
Choose the EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard for Mac if you want a software-based recovery path for Mac storage devices and the monthly subscription model fits your budget. Choose the Guidance Software Neutrino setup if you prefer a forensic phone recovery kit with a carry case and can work with an open-box unit.

Where Each Product Wins
The EaseUS listing wins on price and on being a Mac software subscription that explicitly supports macOS 14 Sonoma. The description also mentions recovery from HDD, SSD, fusion drive, Time Machine backup drive, SD card, memory card, USB drive, and camera. This makes it a broader file-recovery software option for Mac users.
The Guidance Software Neutrino setup wins on being a hardware bundle with a carry case and the Neutrino model designation. It's positioned as a forensic phone data recovery setup, so it appeals to buyers who want a dedicated phone-focused recovery kit rather than a general Mac software subscription.
Product Notes
EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard for Mac (Monthly Subscription) Single License/1 PC
This subscription listing is the lower-priced of the two. It's a single license for one PC or Mac, and the description says it supports macOS 14 Sonoma. The tool is aimed at recovering deleted files from sources like HDDs, SSDs, USB drives, memory cards, and cameras, and it works through a scan-and-preview workflow. The main limitation is that it's a monthly subscription, so you're paying for ongoing access rather than a perpetual license. If you want a Mac-focused software utility without a big upfront hardware purchase, this is the option to consider.
Guidance Software Neutrino Forensic Phone Data Recovery Setup with Carry Case
This is the higher-priced hardware setup. It's an open-box Guidance Software unit with the model name Neutrino and a carry case. The listing description notes that only what's shown in the photos is included: of the plastic cases pictured, only two have cables; the others are empty. That means the contents are not uniform across the set, so anyone buying this should rely on the photos to see exactly which cases come with cables. Its appeal is the forensic phone recovery positioning and the included carry case, but the open-box condition and inconsistent cabling make it a more hands-on purchase.
Final Choice by Use Case
If you need to recover deleted files on a Mac and prefer a software subscription, the EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard for Mac is the straightforward pick. If you want a dedicated phone recovery setup with a carry case and are comfortable with an open-box item that has some cases without cables, the Guidance Software Neutrino setup fits that need.
