Ha, funny thing, I bought it yesterday.
Why? 7zip is just better. Also .7z is the superior compression algorithm
Pleeease just use zip. Different compression algorithms just lead to headaches and honestly who cares which is better, use the standard. Everyone can open zip files. Don't send your stuff as a .rar, .7z or .tar.gz.
Better check for your version since <6 got got compromised
I'm too lazy to check, so how much is it? Is it a one-time purchase or a subscription?
Onetime for around 30 bucks. Yeah, 7zip is free and I used that but I had to repair a corrupted rar archive. It worked and I was thankful for that so I bought it.
