Find items only in the first list, only in the second, or shared by both, regardless of line order.

Find what is shared or missing

Each input: up to 1 MB of UTF-8 text and 20,000 lines. Line endings are normalized to LF. An empty other list is allowed; both lists cannot be empty.

Options
Uses Unicode lowercase, not fuzzy names, aliases or accent matching.

Results show unique membership, not occurrence-by-occurrence pairing. First-seen order and list A spelling are used for shared items; duplicates are counted separately.

Limits and next steps

Membership comparison is exact after your chosen normalization. It does not compare record fields or resolve fuzzy names. Use CSV comparison for structured exports. Copy a result group, or clean your source list and run again.
