UninstallView vs Uninstalr

UninstallView is a free Windows utility from NirSoft for listing installed programs and uninstalling software on local or remote computers. With Load Windows Apps enabled, it can also list and remove Windows Apps. Information can come from the current system, other user profiles, a remote computer, an external drive, or a shadow copy. Uninstall modes include standard removal, change-install when available, and quiet uninstall when software supplies a quiet command. Remote uninstall requires Microsoft Sysinternals PsExec in the same folder; commands run as SYSTEM, and some uninstallers may not work correctly in that context. Lists can be exported to text, tab-delimited, CSV, HTML, XML, or JSON, including from the command line. The utility is portable: run UninstallView.exe without installation or extra DLL files. NirSoft lists Windows XP through Windows 11 support for 32-bit and 64-bit systems. Registry data may be supplemented by other sources and can be inaccurate.

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).
