IndexChex vs IndexMeNow
Published · By IndexChex
IndexMeNow charges about $0.47 to $0.98 per credit, fully refunds URLs not indexed after 10 days, and reports 80% of pages indexed in 72 hours on average. IndexChex charges $0.0014 to $0.0044 per submitted URL in standard mode without refunds for unindexed URLs. The trade is premium pricing with a guarantee on spend versus low per-submission cost.

The IndexChex rates are weekly IndexChex measurements on recurring URL sets, October 2026, given as averages. IndexMeNow's figures are its own averages. Different URL sets and checking methods sit behind each, so a percentage-point comparison would be misleading.
Two different products for two budgets
The per-URL gap is wide: IndexMeNow's cheapest credit costs more than a hundred IndexChex standard submissions. That gap is not a like-for-like price difference, because the two services sell different promises.
IndexMeNow sells an outcome with insurance. A buyer who submits 600 URLs on the Agency pack ($399) and sees 480 index (its 80% average) gets 120 credits back, so the effective cost is about $0.665 per indexed page and no money goes to failures. Every URL is checked hourly at no charge until the result is known.
IndexChex sells the crawl. The same 600 URLs cost 600 credits, about $2.64 at the Starter pack rate, and failures are not refunded. Even dividing by the 85%+ measured standard rate, the cost per indexed URL stays near half a cent. The buyer takes on the risk that a particular batch underperforms. Worked examples at 1,000 URLs are on pay-per-indexed vs credit pricing.
When the refund is worth paying for
Refund-based pricing makes sense when each URL is expensive to have produced: a paid guest post or a digital PR placement may cost hundreds of dollars, and paying under a dollar to have it indexed with a guarantee is a small premium. It makes less sense for high-volume, low-value lists such as citations, profile links or large page sets, where the per-URL price dominates the budget.
Choose IndexMeNow if
- Each link is high value and you want a guarantee on spend.
- You want free hourly status checks with no separate checker cost.
- You submit from WordPress or a browser extension.
- You submit tens or hundreds of URLs a month rather than thousands.
Choose IndexChex if
- You submit thousands of URLs and per-submission cost is the main constraint.
- You need minutes rather than days, using instant mode.
- You want a checker that also audits links indexed elsewhere.
- You want drip-feed delivery or SpeedyIndex-compatible API calls.

FAQ
Why is IndexMeNow so much more expensive per URL?

What indexing speed does IndexMeNow publish?
Its home page says 60% of URLs are indexed in 24 hours and 80% of pages in 72 hours on average, using a combination of three methods it does not describe in detail.
Does either tool have a WordPress plugin?
IndexMeNow lists an official WordPress plugin. IndexChex does not; it offers a web app and a REST API.
