I spent the last 3 years building this differ thing. It has plugins for different filetypes (text, image, and simulink) and for different filesystems (local disk, web, and S3). Right now I'm working on turning it into a good version control client too (SVN first, then git).

Curious to see what people's first impressions are!

I like the image diff stuff a little better than Beyond Compare but not enough to create an account just so I can get a quote to see the price.

If you want people to buy I think you can be a little more upfront about your pricing.

Just my opinion.

It seems to me you can download and try without paying for anything: http://www.diffplug.com/versions/0.5.0

I'm not sure what paying actually gets you beyond the version you can just download and use.

It's all free! Paying is only for the Simulink diff features. Time for me to make that more clear...
