About

Active File Compare is an advanced utility for the comparison and synchronization of any text files in visual mode, it reports the results of the comparison in two side-by-side windows on the screen, the differing lines being marked with special color icons. This utility is an excellent tool for comparing source code versions since it allows you to correct the source code and also supports syntax highlighting for the programming languages C++, C#, Java, Visual Basic, Delphi, Object Pascal, SQL, Perl, Assembler, Fortran, Foxpro etc. and for HTML, PHP, XML, INI and BAT files. You can also use it to manage the source code when several independent authors make changes. The algorithm of comparing is designed in such a way that it's always very accurate in finding differences both in small text files and in files with a large number of changes. Active File Compare has its own file manager consisting of two side-by-side windows.

About

Diffract is a purpose-built desktop diff tool that handles far more than plain text. A single app compares text, binary (hex view), images, PDFs, Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, ZIP/tar archives, and Git commits - all in a multi-tab interface. On top of the standard Myers diff, it offers Patience and Histogram algorithms per comparison, AST-based semantic diff that understands code structure (not just line changes), and automatic moved-block detection. It also runs fully headless as a CLI tool for use in CI pipelines. Licensing is a one-time purchase with no subscription, and validation happens entirely offline.
