Software like Dr. Fone and any-data-recovery.com - are they legit or scams?

My daughter deleted a very important video before I had backed it up. I am desperate to get it back (and emotional and pregnant, so think SUPER desperate).

The last time I tried to use a software to recover deleted files on my laptop, it turned out to be a scam/virus, and I definitely don't want that again.

I'm kind of tech ignorant, but I do try!
