Broken Link Checker vs Advanced Broken Links Search
Same job — find dead links in Chrome. Different deal: they meter checks; we do not. We highlight on the page, check images, and crawl faster — a 1,100+ page site took us 6–9 minutes, them about 13.
Broken Link Checker — popup
ABL Search — side panel
When to use us
You want image checks and to see the broken node on the page. You do not want a credit-card reminder after three tries. Scans are not metered.
When they may fit better
If a paid plan with formal support and an SLA matters to you, they have that and we currently do not. Beyond that — whole-site crawl, Docs/Sheets, images — we have not found an area where they are clearly ahead today.
