Compare two pasted lists, one item per line. See shared, removed and added occurrences while keeping every duplicate in the count.
01 · Enter the two lists
Direction: B relative to A02 · Reconcile the occurrences
How the counts add up- A occurrences
- B occurrences
- Removed · A−B

Count occurrences, then compare keys.
The example contains four items in each list. Two occurrences are shared. A has one extra bolt and washer; B has one extra nut and pin. There are four distinct keys in the union, even though each list also has four total occurrences.
Your options define the comparison. Trimming, ASCII case and canonical Unicode normalization can merge lines that would otherwise remain separate. The report records those choices.
