Comparison

SQLTreeo Compare
vs other compare tools

One license for schema, server configuration and data. Here is how that stacks up against the tools you may already know.

Feature by feature

What each tool covers

A ✓ means the feature is part of the product. “Separate product” means the vendor sells it as a second license. “See vendor” means we could not verify it from public documentation, so check before you decide.

Why it is different

Three comparisons, one price

Server configuration, not just schema

Configuration drift between instances causes more incidents than schema drift. SQLTreeo Compare diffs sp_configure, trace flags, logins, Agent jobs, Database Mail, Resource Governor and Extended Events, and writes the script that aligns them.

One license instead of two

Other vendors sell schema and data compare as separate products. Here both are in the same tool, with the same projects and the same command line.

Look for free, pay to act

After the 30-day trial the desktop app stays usable without a license: compare, and read every difference and the script that would run. The $99 license (about €87) adds copying, saving and deploying scripts, report export and the command line. No per-server fees for the desktop app.
