Comparison
ogfetch vs LinkPreview
LinkPreview is a minimal, easy-to-use API that returns the four core preview fields. ogfetch returns those same fields plus the full Open Graph and Twitter objects, favicon, canonical URL, word count, all meta tags, and detected tech stack, while keeping integration just as simple.

When ogfetch is the better pick
You want a richer payload than the four basic preview fields, all the OG and Twitter detail, favicon, canonical, word count, and tech stack, without giving up a simple one-call integration. Credits are bought once and never expire.
When LinkPreview might fit better
You only ever need the four basic fields (title, description, image, url) and want the simplest possible API surface. LinkPreview is a clean, minimal choice for that narrow need.

FAQ
What does ogfetch return that LinkPreview does not?
Beyond title, description, image, and URL, ogfetch returns the full Open Graph and Twitter card objects, favicon, canonical URL, word count, a meta object (author, keywords, robots, theme color), and the detected framework or CMS behind the page.
Is ogfetch harder to integrate?
No. It is a single GET request with an API key header, the same shape as LinkPreview. The extra fields are simply present in the JSON; you can ignore the ones you do not need.
How does pricing compare?
ogfetch uses one-time credit packs starting at $3 that never expire, instead of a recurring monthly plan. For low or irregular volume you avoid paying every month regardless of usage.
