Compare lists as sequences or mathematical sets

Compare two lists separated by newlines, commas, or semicolons. Find added, missing, and common items instantly.

Comparing lists of items, IDs, emails, or SKUs often requires checking what is missing rather than line numbers. List Diff splits your inputs by delimiter and lets you compare as ordered sequences or unordered sets.

Enable Ignore order to see elements added or removed regardless of position, or turn on Unique to deduplicate before diffing.

For structured JSON arrays, JSON Diff is the better fit.
