String Similarity

Compare two strings using various similarity algorithms

Compare how similar two strings are using different algorithms. Each algorithm has different strengths depending on your use case.

Best for short strings like names. Gives higher scores to strings with matching prefixes.

Algorithm Guide

Jaro-Winkler

Best for short strings like names. Gives higher scores to strings with matching prefixes.

Levenshtein

Counts minimum edits (insertions, deletions, substitutions) needed to transform one string into another.

Dice Coefficient

Compares bigram (2-character) overlap between strings. Good for longer text.

Hamming

Counts positions where characters differ. Only works on equal-length strings.
