Oct 28, 2022 · You can get WinRAR for free, completely legally, and the free version is perfectly identical to the paid version. Paying is only really necessary if you want to use the software for commercial purposes. Because WinRAR doesn’t push people to buy the software, most use it for free, and it’s generally fine.

WinRAR is a shareware archiving software for Windows. It lets you de/compress many formats such as rar, zip and others. It is also a so-called ‘nagware’ because it can be freely used beyond its 30 day trial period, however it will nag the user at each and every start, to buy the ‘full version’. The reason for why nobody is buying it?
While it supports the same archive/image formats for reading as WinRAR (except WinRAR supports ACE which 7z doesn't, but who gives a crap), it also provides a lot of formats for writing, whereas WinRAR only supports few. I think its native compression is also more effective than RAR. 1 more reply Morlok8k • 8 yr. ago 7zipMasterRace
