Free Online Semantic Version Comparator

Compare two semantic version strings and determine which is newer — entirely in your browser with no upload to any server and no account required. Handles pre-release and build metadata.

Package maintainers verify that a new release correctly increments the version. DevOps engineers compare installed vs latest library versions in dependency audits. CI pipelines use semver comparison to decide whether to trigger a deployment.

How to Use

1Enter the first version string (e.g. 1.2.3).
2Enter the second version string.
3The result shows which is greater or if they are equal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is any data sent to a server?

No. Version comparison is computed in your browser using standard semver parsing logic.

What semver format is supported?

Standard MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH format, plus pre-release identifiers (1.0.0-alpha.1) and build metadata (1.0.0+build.1).

How are pre-release versions compared?

Pre-release versions have lower precedence than the release version: 1.0.0-alpha < 1.0.0. Among pre-releases, numeric identifiers are compared numerically.
