Redline Buddy for Mac showing a redline: 'lawyers' struck through in red and 'everyone!' underlined in blue.

Two ways to redline.

Drop in two drafts, pick how you want to see the changes, and click Run Redline.

Buddy Redline

Compare two drafts directly inside Redline Buddy. See every change instantly, navigate and search the redline, copy the result, or export a clean PDF.

FAQs

Do I need Microsoft Word?

No. Buddy Redline is Redline Buddy's own comparison engine and works on its own. You only need Microsoft Word for Mac if you want to use Track Changes in Word.

Are my documents uploaded anywhere?

No. In the Mac app, the files you compare stay on your Mac.

In Free Text Compare, your text is processed in your browser and is not uploaded to Redline Buddy.

How does the free trial work?

Download the app and use every feature free for 14 days, with no credit card to start. To keep using it afterward, choose a plan.

Can I cancel?

Yes. Monthly and annual plans can be canceled anytime, and you keep access through the end of the period you paid for.

What's the difference between Free Text Compare and the Mac app?

Free Text Compare compares pasted text, up to 1,000 words per version, with a basic red and blue redline and change count. It doesn't detect moved text, search the redline, or jump change-by-change, and its results carry Redline Buddy attribution.

Redline Buddy for Mac compares documents and longer drafts, lets you search and jump through changes, detects moved text, creates watermark-free results and PDFs, works from Finder, generates tracked changes in Word, and includes the full Redline Buddy feature set.
