Compare Texts
Compare two texts to see similarity and unique words.
Mode
Lines mode builds an ordered unified/side-by-side diff (line numbers, added/removed) and set overlap for lists (keywords, emails, URLs, IDs).
Text A
Text B
Treat “Apple” and “apple” as the same word for comparison.
Collapse multiple spaces/tabs and trim ends before comparing.

What is Compare Texts?
Proofreading edits, reviewing contract redlines, or checking whether two keyword lists match — you need a side-by-side diff without opening a desktop IDE. ToolYour Compare Texts accepts two pasted blocks and reports similarity percentage, tokens unique to each side, and shared tokens in words or lines mode.
Honest limits: Lines mode includes an ordered unified/side-by-side diff (line numbers, added/removed highlighting) plus set overlap for list QA. It is still not a full IDE merge tool. Case and whitespace options change results — pick the same settings when comparing revisions.
Same job via REST (POST https://api.toolyour.com/api/v1/text-utilities/compare-texts) and MCP (compare_texts_post) on one API key.
What are common questions about Compare Texts?
Words vs lines mode — which should I use?
Words for prose edits and copy changes. Lines when each row is one item (keywords, URLs, IDs).
Is this the same as Git diff?
Close for line lists. Lines mode shows ordered unified/side-by-side diffs with line numbers and added/removed highlighting, plus unique/common set summaries. It is not a full merge/conflict tool for large codebases.
Can I ignore case or extra spaces?
Yes — use the case/whitespace options on the tool so “Hello” and “hello” can match when you want.
Where do I normalize lists first?
Sort with Sort Lines, or join tokens with Comma Separate, then paste both sides here in lines mode.
REST API and MCP?
REST: JSON body with textA and textB (optional mode, caseInsensitive, ignoreWhitespace, ignoreEmptyLines) to https://api.toolyour.com/api/v1/text-utilities/compare-texts. MCP: compare_texts_post or plan_task for “compare two texts” / “text diff” at https://api.toolyour.com/mcp.
