What is Diffchecker?
Diffchecker shows the differences between two versions of text, images, documents, Excel files or folders, side by side in the browser. The free Basic plan includes side-by-side text comparison with word-level differences, plus limited monthly tries of extras like the unified view and character-level differences. Paid plans add unlimited Pro features and a desktop app that keeps files on your device.
Pros: what Diffchecker does well
- Instant side-by-side comparison in the browser
- Handles text, images and documents
- No install needed for the free plan
Cons: where it falls short
- Several views are limited to a few tries a month free
- Offline desktop app is paid
