Linkup vs. extractor.sh
What is the difference?
Linkup focuses on production web search, page retrieval, and deeper research, with enterprise deployment options including private indexing and bring-your-own-cloud operation. extractor.sh solves a narrower problem: extract a known public URL or run a focused search and receive content that is immediately useful to software and AI.
Choose extractor.sh when
- You need simple public-web extraction and focused discovery without private indexing.
- You want semantic products, posts, profiles, feeds, videos, places, and finance results where supported.
- You prefer a small cache-first GET surface and hosted MCP tools.
Choose Linkup when
