A side-by-side comparison of two URL safety tools, and which one to use depending on what you actually need.
Bitdefender's free Link Checker verifies URLs against Bitdefender's own threat intelligence. Scanify includes Bitdefender's verdict as one of 95+ engines, then adds Google Safe Browsing, urlscan.io sandbox analysis, domain age, SSL inspection, redirect tracing and a live screenshot captured in Scanify's own sandbox. The result is a 0 to 100 score with every contributing signal listed, rather than a single badge.
