Geek Uninstaller vs Uninstalr

Geek Uninstaller is a Windows utility for removing unwanted software. Its free edition runs as a portable EXE on 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, including Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 8 and 7, and requires administrator permissions. After a standard uninstall, it scans for leftover files and registry items. Force Removal is intended for stubborn or broken programs that cannot be removed normally. The free edition can also uninstall Microsoft Store apps on Windows 8, 8.1, 10 and 11, and its interface is translated into more than 40 languages. The Free plan is free, for personal use, and includes no support. Batch uninstall and installation monitoring are not available in the free edition. Paid offerings are presented under different names and terms: Geek Uninstaller PRO is listed at $24.95 a month with a lifetime license, while Uninstall Tool Standard License is $24.95 as a one-time purchase and the Portable License is $39.95 as a one-time purchase. Uninstall Tool, developed by CrystalIDEA Software based on Thomas Koen's code, adds installation monitoring, startup-program management, batch removal and technical support. It can be tried free for 30 days.

Uninstalr is a Windows app for uninstalling software, with leftover scanning, forced removal and batch uninstall. Before removal begins, it shows paths that would be deleted and lets users exclude paths; the maker recommends reviewing them and creating a backup first. Its custom engine can continue an uninstall without further interaction once started. The app detects 16 listed types, including Microsoft Store apps, package-manager apps and games from several platforms. Users can search, sort and filter one installed-app list, and disk use is calculated in real time. Uninstalr also displays app country of origin; the maker says this feature works locally without sending data elsewhere. Portable and setup versions have the same functionality, and the download page lists Windows 11, 10, 8 and 7. The free plan is available for personal, business and client-computer use. Uninstalr Pro is $39 a month (billed One-time payment; 1 computer); the Pro and WinFindr Pro bundle is $56 a month (billed One-time payment; 1 computer).
