AlbumRescue pricing
Last updated: 5 November 2026
One payment, no subscription, for up to 2 Macs. Prices include sales tax or VAT where it applies. Checkout is handled by our online reseller Paddle.com, the Merchant of Record. Your licence key appears on screen straight after paying; enter it in AlbumRescue (Enter Licence Key). Lost it? Email support@kayabyte.dev with your Paddle receipt and we will send it again.
Please scan first. Download AlbumRescue and read “Before you pay” on your own library. It may tell you that Photos can do what you need for free, or that the originals you want are not in this copy.
