Semantic Version Comparator

Developer Utilities

Compare two semantic versions to see which is newer, including pre-release tags such as alpha and beta.

How to use

Comparing versions

Versions follow the major.minor.patch format. Build metadata after a plus sign is ignored, while a pre-release tag such as -beta.1 sorts before the same version without one.

  1. Enter two versions.
  2. Read which one is greater.
  3. A leading v prefix is accepted.

Frequently asked questions

Which is greater, 1.0.0 or 1.0.0-rc.1?

1.0.0 is greater. A pre-release tag always sorts before the corresponding normal version.

Is a v prefix allowed?

Yes, a leading v is ignored before comparison.
