Link indexer alternatives, compared honestly
Indexing services differ less in what they promise than in how they charge: per indexed link, per submission or per month. Here is how Index Forge compares, using only what each service publishes on its own site.
Three pricing models, side by side
Which one is cheaper for you depends on how many links you send and how many of them Google keeps.
| Feature | Index Forge | Pay-per-indexed services | Subscription services |
|---|---|---|---|
| How you pay | $0.01 per link sent | Credits per indexed link, refunded after 7–14 days | Monthly plan with a daily link limit |
| Entry price | $5 top-up, 10 links free | From $5 (SpeedyIndex) to €59 (IndexMeNow) | From $17 a month |
| Free check before paying | Every link | Varies | Varies |
| Telegram bot · API | Both, one balance | Some · usually | Rare · higher plans |

How to choose a link indexer
Questions that matter more than any "indexing rate" a service quotes about itself.
- What exactly do you pay for? A submission, an indexed link or a month of access. Work out the price per indexed link for your own numbers.
- Are links checked before you pay? Paying to submit a 404 or a noindexed page is money spent on nothing.
- What happens to links that fail? Refund as credits, cash, or nothing.
- How big is the entry ticket? A $59 pack and a $5 top-up are very different tests.
- Does it promise 100%? Be careful. Google decides what it indexes.
- Do you have to hand over account access? A service that only needs URLs is lower risk.
The break-even math
Pay-per-indexed services refund links Google doesn't index. Index Forge charges $0.01 per link that passes the check, whatever Google decides later. So which is cheaper depends on your indexing rate.
With Index Forge, the cost per indexed link is $0.01 ÷ your indexing rate. At 50%, that's $0.02 per indexed link. At 20%, $0.05.
A pay-per-indexed service at $0.05 per indexed link costs the same as Index Forge only if just 20% of your links get indexed. At $0.10, the break-even is 10%. Above that rate, paying a cent per link is cheaper.
A subscription is a different trade: you pay for capacity. If you send fewer links a month than the plan price divided by $0.01, per-link pricing wins.
When another service may suit you better
An honest comparison includes the cases where we're not the best fit.
- You want to pay only for links Google keeps. Pay-per-indexed services refund the rest after a waiting period.
- You need to pay by card or PayPal. We accept USDT only.
- You want WordPress or browser plugins. We have a Telegram bot and an HTTP API, no plugins.
- You need Yandex indexing. Index Forge sends links for Google crawling only.
How to run a fair test
The only indexing rate that matters is the one you measure on your own links.
- Take 100 or more links of the same kind that aren't indexed yet.
- Run them all through the free checker or the bot, and drop the ones that fail. They'd fail with any service.
- Split the rest randomly into two equal groups and send one group to each service on the same day.
- Check indexing after 7 and 14 days with the same method for both groups.
- Divide what each service cost by the number of links it got indexed.
Why we only list published facts
Every number on these pages comes from the service's own website, with the date it was checked.
We don't quote indexing rates for other services, because we can't verify them, and we don't quote one for ourselves for the same reason. Services we couldn't check on their own site aren't included. If you spot an outdated price, the service's site is the source to trust.
