Pro and Oro include three-way comparison and automatic merging of non-conflicting text changes. The maker documents integrations with Git, Mercurial, Bazaar, SVN, SourceTree, and Visual Studio, plus scripting and command-line automation. Standard costs $39.99, paid once for one platform, Pro costs $59.99, paid once for one platform, and Oro costs $89.99, paid once for all platforms. A 30-day trial is listed; there is no free plan.
