        How to compare two lists

        1. Paste your first list into List A and your second list into List B. Put one item per line, or separate items with commas, semicolons or tabs.
        2. Results update instantly: items only in List A, items only in List B, and items in both.
        3. Press Copy on any column to copy its items, one per line.

        Options

        • Ignore case: “Apple” and “apple” count as the same item.
        • Trim spaces: removes stray spaces at the start and end of each item.
        • Sort A–Z: sorts results alphabetically, with numbers in natural order (2 before 10).
        • Duplicates within a list are counted once, and the number removed is shown under the lists.
