# Free Sitemap URLs Comparison Tool

> Diff two sitemap versions (or two sites) to identify added, removed, and unchanged URLs - useful for migrations and release audits.

```yaml
url: "https://www.scrolllaunch.com/tools/sitemap-compare"
slug: sitemap-compare
category: onpage
keywords: "sitemap compare, sitemap diff, compare sitemaps, sitemap url comparison, free sitemap compare"
```

## How to use

1. **Paste sitemap A and B** - A is the baseline; B is the new version.
2. **Run the compare** - We fetch both, expand indexes, and diff unique locs.
3. **Export buckets** - Copy added or removed lists into your QA spreadsheet.

## Use sitemap diffs before and after a migration

Keep a copy of the pre-migration sitemap. After cutover, diff against the new index to catch missing money pages.

Unchanged counts should include your canonical product and pricing URLs - if they appear under Removed, fix redirects and re-submit.

Pair with the redirect checker so removed URLs 301 to their replacements.

## What you get

- Added / removed / unchanged
- Two-URL compare
- Copy each bucket
- Works with indexes
