How HubGet stacks up against the alternatives.

vs Ninite

Ninite made installing several apps at once popular. But it offers around 150 hand-picked apps and can’t uninstall them without the paid version. HubGet has more than 25,000 apps in its catalog and manages them from install to uninstall.

• 25,000+ apps instead of around 150
• Updates and uninstalls right in the app
• Free and open source, for businesses too

vs UniGetUI

UniGetUI is a mature desktop app for managing packages from many package managers at once. HubGet takes a different path: instead of a package list, it’s an app store where you discover, compare and install apps like in the App Store.

• A Today home page, collections and charts
• One app = one card with every source
• Regular user mode without libraries and tools

vs Chocolatey

Chocolatey is a proven command-line package manager. HubGet doesn’t replace it – it uses Chocolatey as one of its sources and offers its apps in a graphical store alongside WinGet and Scoop.

• No commands to type – just click
• Chocolatey, WinGet and Scoop in one catalog
• Copy-ready choco commands

vs Winstall.app

Winstall.app is a website where you pick apps from WinGet and get a command to run in your terminal. HubGet installs, updates and uninstalls apps from WinGet, Chocolatey and Scoop for you.

• Install, update and uninstall right in the app
• Three sources in one catalog
• A fallback source when a WinGet download link is broken
