Disclaimer: I work at Diffbot
Major differences I can see (OP feel free to correct if I'm wrong):
Link.fish
* doesn't provide a web crawler
* relies heavily on microdata, schema.org, RDFa, etc
* relies on manual parsers for sites that don't have microdata embedded
* doesn't full-render pages by default (Diffbot renders every page, so it can use computer vision to automatically extract the data)
* doesn't support proxies
* doesn't support entity tagging
Probably plenty more, but that's what jumps out to me at first blush.
