About Text Compare

Text Compare is a no-nonsense utility for engineers and technical marketers. Spot every difference between two documents instantly. Give it your two inputs and it returns formatted text — no sign-up, no ceremony.

Differences are highlighted line by line so you can see exactly what changed between two versions — useful for reviewing edits, catching an unintended deploy change, or auditing a rewrite.

Text Compare is included on Professional and above. Every run counts against your plan's credit allowance, and results are saved to your history so you can return to them or attach them to a client report.

Why teams use it

Stop paying for a single-purpose tool

Text Compare is one of 312 tools on the same account. One subscription replaces the handful of point solutions most developer teams end up stacking.

Get to the decision faster

The output is structured around what you will do next, not around what was easiest to measure. Less interpretation, fewer meetings.

Share results without a screenshot

Export to PDF or CSV, or send a link. Clients and colleagues see the same thing you do, formatted properly.

Works the same on every device

The full workspace — including tables and exports — works on a phone, a tablet and a 4K display without a separate app.
