Definitely helpfull as other tools. But this recovers the secret key only if you didn't add a password to your wallet. Also we provide a service, because not everybody knows the inner workings of Bitcoin. Luckily we have a lot of these tools for tech savvy people. We also pledge to send Bitcoins to the third party tools that we use while recovering!

I presume part of the advantage of a services they have a lot of compute power (or Asics?) to throw at the task.
