Ever been faced with two (or more) massive lists and the daunting task of finding what’s changed?
Manually comparing spreadsheets or text files is tedious, error-prone, and a huge waste of time.

That’s why I built listcomparator.com — a free, browser-based tool that makes list comparison and data cleanup effortless.

💡 Privacy First: Your data never leaves your computer. Everything runs locally in your browser.

⚙️ Powerful Features at Your Fingertips

Our comparator is packed with capabilities that give you total control over your data:

  • Multi-List Comparison
    Go beyond just two lists — compare up to four lists simultaneously to find common entries or create a unified master list.

  • Intuitive Comparison Modes
    For two lists, choose from five clear options such as “In Both (A ∩ B)” or “Only in B (B − A)”.
    For three or more lists, use Intersection (In ALL lists) or Union (All distinct items) for quick, broad insights.


🧹 Advanced Data Cleaning

Before comparing, clean your data with a click:

  • Trim whitespace
  • Remove empty or duplicate lines
  • Perform Find & Replace (supports Regex and “Apply to All Lists”)

These options make it easy to standardize or transform entries across multiple lists at once.


📁 Flexible Data Input

Simply paste your lists or upload files (.txt, .csv).
If you upload a CSV, the tool intelligently lets you choose the column to compare — perfect for contact lists or data exports.


📊 Rich Results Display

For two-list comparisons, you’ll see:

  • A Venn diagram giving an instant visual summary
  • A color-coded Diff View highlighting added and removed lines

👥 Who Is It For?

This tool is built for anyone who handles text or data regularly:

  • Marketers: Clean email lists, find new vs. unsubscribed users, or merge contacts from different campaigns.
  • Data Analysts: Reconcile datasets, spot discrepancies, or identify common records across multiple sources.
  • Developers: Compare configuration files, logs, or feature lists between versions.
  • Everyone: Manage product inventories, guest lists, contacts — any text-based dataset.
