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 95+ 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.
