The internet is full of repair and optimizing apps that compete with one another to take the lead on the market. Unfortunately, not every software you can download online is effective or even trust-worthy in some cases. There are a lot of malicious apps out there that hide malware in the installer file and when you download the app, you also download the malware and risk infecting your device.
That is why we advise you to always research the software before you purchase or install anything on your computer or smartphone. Make sure it has good customer ratings and that it comes from a reputable provider. And even if it does, make sure you download the app from the official website or a safe source.
Advanced System Repair and Reimage are both top-notch system repair apps, developed by trust-worthy companies that specialize in creating utility software. They both come with pros and cons and we are going to compare them for you below, to help you make a better and more informed decision.

Reimage Repair
Reimage Repair (also known as just Reimage) is a complex repair software developed by Reimage Limited, a company based in Tel Aviv.
Compatibility of Reimage
Unlike Advanced System Repair, which is only compatible with Windows devices, Reimage also has apps for Mac and for mobile devices that run on Android. The only one missing is an iOS app.
Reimage for Windows is compatible with Windows XP, 7, 8, and 8 Pro, but it is not compatible with Windows 10.
Reimage for Mac works on devices running OS X Maverick and above.
Reimage for Android works on Android 2.3 and above.
Reimage started as a repair software for Windows PCs in 2007. Later on, it also developed a Mac version of the product and then the Android app. The most comprehensive one of the 3 remains the Windows version though, while the other two are more focused on cleaning the junk on your device.

Reimage for Android
The Android app from Reimage is free for download. You can download it from the Play Store.
Does Reimage have a free version?
Reimage has a free version you can download from their website. Just like the Advanced System Repair, the Reimage free version will only let you run system scans at no charge. In order to repair any issues, you have to purchase a license.
The free scan identifies all the hardware, stability and security issues in your system. Some examples of hardware issues are a low memory, low speed of the hard disk, CPU power, temperature problems and other. Some examples of stability issues are: identifying programs that cause regular system crashes and freezes, reboots and so on. Some examples of security issues are malware of all types, such as spyware, adware, viruses, trojans, worms and so on.
What are the features of Reimage?
Since the most popular and complex version of Reimage is the Windows app, we are going to focus on its features first.
Reimage for Windows works by identifying and removing all the corrupt and infected files in your system. All these unhealthy and broken files are then replaced with fresh, clean and authentic ones from its huge online database. The Reimage database contains more than 25 million genuine, up to date and healthy Microsoft files.
Here are some of the most important PC issues you can fix with Reimage for Windows:
- Blue screens of death (BSODs): are those stop error screens that crash your system and Reimage can get rid of such issues for you
- Damaged DLLs (dynamic link libraries), which get damaged from all the programs we constantly install and uninstall on our computers;
- Computer freezes, which occur when certain programs (or sometimes your entire system) stop responding and the only solution to this problem is usually to reboot the PC
- Virus damage: Reimage can fix the damage left by viruses and other types of malware, by replacing all the infected files with fresh, healthy ones from its Microsoft files database; however, don’t rely on Reimage to protect you from malware, you should also use an Antivirus for that; Reimage doesn’t remove the malware in your computer, only the damage left by the malware infection
Another notable quality of Reimage is that of recovering your operating system without affecting your user data in any way. Reimage fixes and replaces the corrupt Windows files and restores the compromised system settings without you losing any important data, as it might happen when you reinstall Windows.
Highlights of the Mac version
The Mac version of Reimage is great if you want to remove the junk data in your Mac, freeing up space on your drive. Reimage deletes your browsing history, cached space and junk files of all types. It also analyzes the storage space on your Mac and helps you organize it in the best way.
Reimage for Mac also monitors your hardware and apps and notifies you if anything takes up too much space or resources and slows down your Mac.
Highlights of the Android app
The Android version of Reimage can be downloaded for free, although there is a paid Pro version of the app as well, if you are willing to pay for it. The Pro version has more features to offer.
The free app is also an effective cleaning app that removes your text history, browsing history, unwanted cached memory and more. In the app, you can schedule weekly cache cleanups and see the apps that use resources the most, so you can close the ones you don’t need.
Reimage customer support
Reimage offers support through their ticketing system. It also has a Support section on its website, where you can find tips and answers to frequently asked questions.
Conclusion - Which one is better: Advanced System Repair or Reimage?
Both Advanced System Repair and Reimage are trust-worthy and reliable and they both help you improve your system.
Reimage is more versatile than Advanced System Repair, because it also has apps for Android and Macs. On the other hand, its Windows app is not compatible with Windows 10, which is a bummer, because it is the newest and most popular Microsoft OS right now. Advanced System Repair is compatible with Windows 10, but it doesn’t have apps for Macs and mobile devices.
Both have a free version, which does pretty much the same things, so that’s a tie.
Advanced System Repair offers live chat support, while Reimage doesn’t.
Price-wise, you might end up spending less money with Reimage, because it is more affordable and its licenses are offered for an entire year, while the Advanced System Repair licenses are for only 3 months.
In terms of features, both apps are equally good and offer similar repair and optimizing tools.
