A side-by-side comparison of two URL safety tools, and which one to use depending on what you actually need.
urlscan.io loads a page in a sandbox and records every request, script, cookie and redirect it makes. It is superb for researchers who want to see how a page behaves. Scanify actually queries urlscan.io as one of its sources, then combines the result with multiple antivirus verdicts, Google Safe Browsing, WHOIS and SSL data into a single risk score. urlscan gives you the evidence; Scanify gives you the conclusion, with the evidence attached.
