Revo Uninstaller
Windows uninstaller that scans for leftover files and registry entries
Which one is for you
Pick Ninite if
- Fits if you're setting up a Windows PC and want the usual free apps on in one pass
- Works for admins patching many office PCs from one browser tab, at $1 a machine a month for the first 20
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you're on a Mac or Linux, as it only installs apps on Windows
- Not for you if you need an app that isn't in Ninite's catalog, since Pro has no built-in support for custom applications
- Tight if you hoped to use the free site at work, because it's licensed for personal use only
- Watch out: the $1 a year Nintune plan needs Microsoft Intune and leaves out Ninite Pro and the Ninite Agent
- Watch out: Ninite Pro's trial is 14 days, and Pro needs an agent on each PC
Pick Revo Uninstaller if
- Fits if you want uninstalls to include registry and file leftovers
- Works for technicians who need a portable uninstaller on a USB stick
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you are on Mac or Linux, as it is Windows only
- Watch out: Pro updates last 1 or 2 years depending on the option bought, though the licence itself is lifetime
- Watch out: registry cleaning is a separate product, Revo Registry Cleaner
- Pricey if you need 2 or 3 PCs, since prices rise per computer
How we grade them
| 3.2GPANiniteVery good | 2.6GPARevo UninstallerGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | AFree at home. For work, Nintune is $1 per machine a year with no minimum, and Ninite Pro $1 per machine a month for the first 20, $0.50 for the next 400 and $0.25 after that, so 50 machines cost $35 a month. That's under the $2.99 a month per seat utilities here charge in the middle. | APro is $24.95 once for one PC, under a year of what this category's middle subscription costs. Updates last 1 year, or 2 for $39.95. |
| Free plan and trial | AThe website is free for home use, with no ads or junkware, and it both installs and updates. There's no cap a person at home would ever reach. It's personal use only, so anyone paid to run Ninite is asked to subscribe to Pro. | CA free edition and a portable version exist, plus a 30-day Pro trial. The page doesn't itemise how the free edition differs from Pro. |
| Features | CPick apps, get one installer, run it again to update, with downloads taken from each publisher's own site and checked before they run. The limit is its own: only apps in Ninite's catalog are covered, and Pro has no built-in support for custom applications. | BLeftover scans, forced uninstall, batch uninstall, browser extensions, backups and Hunter Mode. Registry cleaning is a separate paid product. |
| Ease of use | BNo store rating on record, but at home there's nothing to set up: tick boxes, one download, no choices to click through. Work is more involved, with an agent on each PC for Pro and Microsoft Intune for Nintune. | BNo rating on record. You pick a program and uninstall it, with nothing to set up. |
| Platforms and integrations | BNinite Pro runs in a browser and ties into Microsoft Intune, WinGet and RMM tools such as Atera, Kaseya and N-able, which is what earns it a B. The machines it looks after are Windows only, though: 11, 10, 8.x and 7, plus the Server versions. | DWindows only on the desktop, and the Android products are separate. No listed integrations. |
| Best for | putting the usual apps on a Windows PC in one go | removing Windows programs and their leftovers |

Key features
Ninite
- One installer for many apps
- Pick apps on the website and download a single installer that sets them up in the background in their default locations, with no choices to click through and no toolbars or extras.
- Run again to update
- A Ninite installer always installs the latest stable versions, so running the same file later updates those apps and skips any that are already current.
- Official, verified downloads
- Apps are downloaded from each publisher's official site, and Ninite verifies digital signatures or hashes before running anything.
- Ninite Pro web console
- An agent on each Windows PC reports to a live grid in the browser, one row per machine and one column per app, for bulk installs, updates, uninstalls and auto-update policies.
- Nintune for Microsoft Intune
- Publishes Ninite's catalog plus thousands of WinGet apps as Intune apps, with Required, Available, Update Only and Uninstall assignments and custom install scripts.
- Pro Classic command line
- Included with every Pro account: a scriptable silent mode, fully offline installers, download caching and command-line switches for use with scripts and RMM tools.
Revo Uninstaller
- Leftover scanning
- After the standard uninstall runs, scans for remaining files and registry entries, with three scan depths.
- Forced uninstall
- Removes remnants of programs that were already uninstalled or are only partly installed.
- Quick and batch uninstall
- Uninstalls several programs in one pass.
- Windows apps and browser extensions

More comparisons
How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
