Is Rapid Indexer cheaper than IndexMeNow?

Rapid Indexer is pay-as-you-go (Pay-as-you-go, ~$0.05 per URL), while IndexMeNow starts at $15 / mo for 100 URLs. For most users — especially anyone whose submission volume varies month to month — pay-as-you-go wins because there's no expiring quota.

When should I pick IndexMeNow over Rapid Indexer?

You need a long, polished case-study history to show your boss. You're already on a multi-month contract that's not up for renewal. You only ever submit 20–30 URLs a month, and pay-as-you-go billing isn't worth the setup.

Do I get a refund if Rapid Indexer can't index my URL?

Yes. Credits for any URL not indexed within 30 days are automatically refunded to your balance. IndexMeNow does not offer this guarantee.

Rapid Indexer vs IndexMeNow

The original mass-indexer, now with mass-indexer pricing.

IndexMeNow pioneered the indexing-as-a-service model and still has the deepest brand. Their core indexing pipeline works well, but pricing tiers, lack of refunds for un-indexed URLs, and a closed-source approach make us the better fit for serious marketplace sellers and developers.
