Yes: Glary Utilities Free
The version you download from the official server, gusetup.exe, is Glary Utilities Free. It installs the full toolbox and 1-Click Maintenance at no cost. Entering a Pro license later unlocks the paid features in the same installation.
Free vs Pro compared

What’s the same
Both editions use the same engine and the same tools. A disk clean or registry scan in the free edition finds the same items as in Pro; the difference is mostly when and how automatically it runs.
What Pro adds
- Automatic maintenance: background clean-ups without opening the program.
- Scheduling: choose when scans run.
- Support: direct help from Glarysoft.

Version 6.50 · free · direct from Glarysoft’s server
Which should you download?
Everyone downloads the same free installer. Start with Free; if you later want automation, start the Pro trial from inside the program or buy a license from Glarysoft.
Free portable edition
There is also a free portable edition, guportable.zip, which runs without installation. See our Glary Utilities Portable guide.
Other Glarysoft products such as Malware Hunter and Glary Undelete are separate programs, not part of Glary Utilities Pro.
Quick answers
Is the free version a different download?
No. The same official installer installs the free edition; Pro is unlocked with a license code.
Do I lose my settings when upgrading?
No. Activating Pro keeps your existing settings and history.
Can I go back to Free after Pro expires?
Yes. When a Pro license or trial ends, the program continues with the free features.
Free since the beginning
Glary Utilities has offered a free edition since its early versions, and that hasn’t changed through Glary Utilities 5 and 6. The free edition is not a cut-down demo: it includes the scanning engines and almost every individual tool. What Glarysoft charges for is convenience — letting the program look after your PC automatically — plus direct support.
A quick way to decide
Ask yourself one question: will you remember to run a scan once a month? If yes, Free is all you need. If you know you won’t, or you’re setting up computers for family members who never open maintenance tools, Pro’s automatic mode is what you’re paying for.
