How large can the compared lists be?

Our browser-based set difference engine easily handles tens of thousands of lines in milliseconds on standard modern computers.

Can I compare lists with mixed uppercase and lowercase text?

Yes. Simply keep "Case-sensitive" unchecked to treat "Apple" and "apple" as identical items, or check it to distinguish between them.
