CompareMerge2

CompareMerge2 is the professional edition of CompareMerge, designed for developers and advanced users who need powerful file and folder comparison and merging capabilities.

It helps you identify differences between versions and efficiently merge changes across text files, binary files, folders, archives, and various document formats.

The standard version includes some limitations on the number of displayed files and merge operations. These limitations can be removed through an in-app upgrade.
