Microlink is link unfurling and headless browser. ToolCenter is a broader API platform — 40+ tools + MCP under a single bearer token, plus an MCP server for AI agents. Here's how they compare and when to switch.
Every compare page on this site starts the same way: a shipping team hit a billing wall, or outgrew a single-purpose API. Here's what they find on the other side.
€9 for 10k vs $24 for 2k. No per-browser-second billing.
SEO, DNS, SSL, WHOIS, diff — all the adjacent tools under one key.
Scrape returns clean Markdown; agents spend tokens reasoning, not parsing.
We're not pretending otherwise — if these are your core needs, Microlink is a great product.
