How it works What the List Overlap Checker does

Shows at a glance how two lists overlap: how many lines are only in yours, only in the second list, and in both — with the lines in each group.

Compares your list with a second list and shows three groups side by side: only in your list, in both, and only in the second list, with a count for each. It combines the three list-comparison operations into one view.

Matching ignores capitals and extra spaces by default, and each list is deduplicated before comparing.

3 steps How to use the List Overlap Checker

  1. Paste your list into the box above — one item per line, and the second list into its own box. Keyword exports, crawl exports and spreadsheet columns all work.
  2. Check the settings and adjust them to your job — the result updates as you type.
  3. Copy the result and paste it wherever it needs to go. Nothing is uploaded, so client and confidential data stay on your machine.

Use it to When to use the List Overlap Checker

  • Run a keyword gap analysis against a competitor’s ranking keywords
  • Compare the URLs in a sitemap with the URLs found in a crawl
  • Check how much two keyword research tools agree
