Version Comparator
Compare two semantic versions without installing a package.
Compare two versions
Is 1.10.0 newer than 1.9.0? Semantic versions do not compare as plain strings, which is exactly the trap this tool avoids. Enter two versions and it tells you which is newer, applying real semver ordering rather than alphabetical.
It settles the common confusion where 1.10 sorts before 1.9 as text, which is handy when checking dependencies, release order, or whether an update is actually an upgrade. Enter both versions and get a clear result.
Comparing versions
Semantic versions compare field by field, so 1.10.0 correctly beats 1.9.0 where a string compare would fail. The comparison runs in your browser.
Frequently asked questions
How are versions compared?
Part by part from the left, with numbers compared as numbers, so 1.10.0 is newer than 1.9.0.
Can I compare pre-release versions?
Simple ones, like 1.0.0-rc.1 against 1.0.0. For complex pre-release rules, check against the semver specification.
What if one version has fewer parts?
Missing parts count as zero, so 1.2 equals 1.2.0.
