Semantic Version Comparator
Enter two version strings or a version and a range constraint to compare them. Shows which is newer, whether the version satisfies the range, and the next increment.

About this tool
Semantic Version Comparator
The Semantic Version Comparator compares semver strings, checks range constraint satisfaction (npm/pip syntax), and computes the next patch/minor/major increment.
• Check if a library version satisfies a constraint before updating a requirements file
• Compare dbt, Airflow, or Spark versions to determine upgrade impact
• Calculate the next patch, minor, or major version for a release
• Validate pre-release version ordering for a release pipeline

FAQ
What does this tool tell you?
The Semantic Version Comparator compares semver strings, checks range constraint satisfaction (npm/pip syntax), and computes the next patch/minor/major increment.
What affects the result most?
Compares two semantic version strings: which is newer, older, or equal. Range satisfaction: does version X satisfy constraint ^1.2.0, ~2.1, >=3.0.0 <4.0.0?. Pre-release ordering: 1.0.0-alpha < 1.0.0-beta < 1.0.0-rc.1 < 1.0.0 per semver spec.
How should I use the result?
The classification or comparison reflects the criteria built into the tool. If your situation has unusual constraints (tight budget, legacy systems, regulatory requirements), the tool is a starting point — your local context will often shift the right answer.
