Linkup vs TinyFish for AI agents
Linkup and TinyFish both ran scrape and search, with the same tasks, the same model (Claude Haiku 5.5), the same prompt and the same limits. A task counts only when a script confirms every answer.
The benchmark tests each provider's gap to its track's leader, with 95% intervals from resampling whole sites. It doesn't test every pair directly, so this page says when a gap is real and when it isn't one anybody can claim.
Scrape 60 tasks · Read one page and pull out exact fields: prices, versions, install commands.
They finished the same number of tasks.
TinyFish cost 0.43¢ per finished task and Linkup 0.60¢, counting all API and model spend, failures included.
Search 60 tasks · Find a fact on the live web: a package's latest version, a filing figure, a release date.
Neither gap to the track's leader cleared chance, and the benchmark doesn't test these two against each other, so this 10-point gap isn't a result either can claim.
TinyFish cost 1.31¢ per finished task and Linkup 2.55¢, counting all API and model spend, failures included.
