Best part is you can compare two folders it will not only help you with text comparison but also help you figure out the missing files and you can keep opening the folders and it will keep comparing that UX is very helpful. You can easily add missing files and text by clicking on the arrows they provide for each difference. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have noticed that sometimes for large files you have to open the folders to actually see if there is any difference, the red mark on files is false negative most of the times. Also it comes with 30 days trial period then you have to pay to use the tool, paying for such a good tool is always little painful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is a great application to compare text and find out differences quickly. As a web developer, it helps me quickly find the diff between different versions of JSON data. It is a lightweight application. It loads up very fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I mainly use the application to compare text or JSON data. The application has multiple comparison options like folder compare, text compare etc., forcing you to pick one type each time on startup. It would have been nice to have a default option in the application instead of having to pick text compare as the type each time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is straightforward to use and very fast. Generating text diffs is as easy as loading the files to compare on two panels. I often use the application in my line of work (data analytics) to compare text and JSON data and quickly find the differences between two different versions of data.

It has too many different comparison options such as folder, text, Hex etc. Each time the user is forced to select what comparison is needed.
