Summary

Diffchecker compares text, code, and data in a browser or on a desktop computer, marking additions, removals, and edits. Text can be viewed side by side or in a unified layout, with controls for diff precision and ignore rules, plus syntax highlighting, live editing, and change merging. Listed options also cover documents, images, spreadsheets, and folders, with features such as OCR, redlines, formula detection, and batch comparison. The Basic plan is free, though several functions have monthly use limits. Pro + Desktop costs $15.00 per user per month and includes offline comparisons. Legal costs $20.00 per user per month; Enterprise costs $40.00 per user per month with annual billing. Browser comparisons stay in the browser unless saved and shared, while Desktop comparisons run locally. The site says browser traffic uses TLS encryption and its information security program is certified to ISO/IEC 27001. Desktop can connect to iManage Cloud through Preferences under Integrations; listed integrations also include Git and a Microsoft Word add-in.

Who it is for

Diffchecker suits developers and engineers, writers and editors, and data and operations teams who need to compare text or other listed file types. Its free plan may suit occasional use, while offline desktop comparisons require a paid plan.
