Save yourself forty bucks with the tools you already have in OS X: open Terminal and type cmp

SYNTAX
cmp [-l | -s] file1 file2 [skip1 [skip2]]

Options
-l Print the byte number (decimal) and the differing byte values (octal)
for each difference.

-s Print nothing for differing files; return exit status only.

Thank you and goodnight. I’ll be here all year showing up ripoff merchants who take the software you already bought, slap a pretty gui on it, and charge you money.

I’ve been a fan of Araxis Merge for years (since 2001), it has helped me on numerous occasions.

It’s an expensive piece of software, but the first time that you need to compare three directory structures across three machines, the investment pays for itself

A nice app I bought with the “Give good food to your Mac” operation. The added value is for me, in the folder comparison.

For sure a nice and polished app, the developer invested some significant time into.

But where is the value added feature in comparasion to FileMerge (besides the SFTP “support”)?
