OneHourIndexing makes sense if you send thousands of links every single day and want a fixed monthly bill. Index Forge makes sense if your volume varies, you want to pay only when you send, and you want each link checked for free first. At under 1,700 links a month, Index Forge is cheaper than the smallest plan.

Which one is cheaper for you?
A subscription is cheaper per link only if you use most of it. The $17 Starter plan equals 1,700 links at Index Forge prices. If you send fewer than 1,700 links in a month, pay-as-you-go wins. The $47 plan equals 4,700 links, the $97 plan 9,700.
| Links you send per month | Index Forge | Cheapest OneHourIndexing plan that fits |
|---|---|---|
| 500 | $5 | $17 |
| 1,500 | $15 | $17 |
| 10,000 | $100 | $17 (if spread over 10+ days) |
| 100,000 | $1,000 | $47 (about 3,300 a day) |
At steady high volume, a subscription is cheaper on paper. Index Forge's argument there is the free check: links that can't be indexed are removed before anything is sent.
What Index Forge does differently
- No subscription, no unused allowance, no renewal to cancel.
- A free check of every link with reasons for each rejection.
- The API for everyone, on the same balance as the bot.
- Refunds for links that aren't accepted.
What OneHourIndexing offers that Index Forge doesn't
- A fixed monthly bill, which some teams prefer for budgeting.
- A very large daily allowance on the higher plans for agencies sending links every day.
- A web dashboard instead of a chat.
When to use which
Pick a subscription if you send a steady, high volume every day and want one predictable payment. Pick Index Forge if your volume comes in bursts, you test new link sources often or you want to remove dead and blocked links before paying. Many link builders send a few hundred links a week, which is well below the point where a plan pays off.
How to compare them on your own links
Take a batch of links you haven't indexed yet, check them with the free checker, and split the ones that pass into two equal groups. Send one group to each service on the same day, then check indexing after a week and after two weeks with the same method. Compare cost per indexed link, not the number of links each one accepted.
Switching from OneHourIndexing
You don't have to switch everything at once. Keep using OneHourIndexing for what's already running and send your next new batch to @IndexForgeBot: the 10 free credits cover a first test. Because every link is checked before you pay, the first report also shows how many links in your usual batches were never indexable, which is useful to know whichever service you keep.
If you automate submissions, the HTTP API takes up to 10,000 URLs per request and returns accepted, rejected and refunded counts per task, so a script written for another service usually needs only a new endpoint and key.
