Scanify vs everyone else

Honest side-by-side comparisons with the other tools people use to check whether a link is safe. Each page lists what the other tool does better, too.

Most link checkers fall into one of four groups: single-vendor reputation tools (F-Secure, Bitdefender, Avast, ESET, Norton, NordVPN), raw multi-engine databases (VirusTotal), sandboxes for researchers (urlscan.io), and shop trust-score sites (ScamAdviser). Scanify sits in the middle: it queries the multi-engine database and the sandbox, adds domain intelligence, and turns the result into one plain-English score. The pages below spell out where each tool wins.
