Overview
UltraCompare is a great software for comparing/merging text and binary files, as well as for synchronizing folders. Such features as graphical binary files comparison and three-way merging interface, put it aside from most comparison programs. We recommend UltraCompare for consistent comparison projects, involving various types of comparison tasks. Besides, the price for UltraCompare is significantly lower than for most popular comparison software.
