A side-by-side comparison of two URL safety tools, and which one to use depending on what you actually need.
ESET's free Link Checker verifies a URL against ESET's threat intelligence. Scanify runs the same URL through multiple engines via VirusTotal, with ESET among them, then adds Google Safe Browsing, urlscan.io, WHOIS, SSL and redirect analysis and a sandbox screenshot. If ESET flags the page and nobody else does, Scanify shows you that, which is useful context a single-vendor tool cannot give.
