How to Use

  1. 1 Paste list A and list B — one item per line
  2. 2 Pick a mode — only A, only B, intersect, union, or symmetric diff
  3. 3 Toggle case-sensitivity and trim if needed
  4. 4 Copy the result

Features

  • Five set operations on line lists
  • Dedupes each side before comparing
  • Case-sensitive or insensitive
  • Trim + blank-line handling
  • Runs entirely in your browser

Why it Matters

Finding what changed between two exports — CRM vs mailer, old sitemap vs new — should not require a spreadsheet VLOOKUP. Paste both lists and pick the set operation.

★★★★★

Use Cases

ID column diffs

Find IDs present in export A but missing from B

Merge uniques

Union two lists into one unique list (A order first)

Overlap check

Intersection of two email or keyword lists

Frequently Asked Questions

Does union keep order?
Yes — all unique lines from A in order, then lines from B that were not in A.
Are duplicates within a list counted?
Each list is deduped first (first occurrence wins), then compared.
