Diff-Text vs ExamXML

Both stand on file comparison software. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.

ExamXML combines visual XML comparison with validation, normalization, folder comparison, and configurable exclusions. Its Pro edition adds automation and conversion tools, but the software is paid and Windows-only.
