A side-by-side comparison of two URL safety tools, and which one to use depending on what you actually need.
Sucuri SiteCheck is aimed at people who run a website: it looks for injected malware, blocklist status, and outdated software on a site you own. Scanify is aimed at the person on the receiving end of a link. It checks whether a URL is a phishing page, a malware host, a lookalike domain or a brand-new scam site, and it does so against 95+ engines rather than a single vendor.
