These are the two names most people end up choosing between for backlink indexing, and they make close to the same promise: give us URLs on domains you do not own, we will get them into Google, you do not pay for the ones that fail.
Then you look at the prices, and one of them costs about ten times the other.
The short answer
SpeedyIndex on price, testability and minimum spend, which is most people. IndexMeNow only if client-facing reporting and a European-facing vendor genuinely matter to your business more than a tenfold cost difference. Nothing published by either explains the gap.
Side by side
Both sets of figures read from the vendors’ own pages on 1 August 2026.
| IndexMeNow | SpeedyIndex | |
|---|---|---|
| Model | Credit packs, 1 credit = 1 URL | Token packs, 100 tokens = 1 Google link |
| Smallest purchase | $59 for 60 URLs | $5 for 50 links |
| Entry cost per link | ~$0.98 | ~$0.10 |
| Best listed rate | ~$0.47 at $1,999 | ~$0.033 at $500 |
| When you get money back | Full refund if unindexed after 10 days | Charged per verified result, failures not billed |
| Index checking | Hourly, free, included | Sold from the same balance, separately |
| Search engines | Google and Yandex | |
| Stated speed | 24 to 48h in its title, 80% in 72h in its copy | Reports on a seven-day cycle |
| Interface languages | French, English, Spanish, Japanese | Russian primary |
Price is the headline, minimum spend is the real story
The per-link gap is large, but the number that should decide your first purchase is the smallest cheque each will accept.
IndexMeNow’s entry pack is $59. SpeedyIndex’s is $5.
That matters because of what you are actually buying on the first attempt, which is not indexing. It is information: does this category do anything measurable for the kind of links you build? The honest prior is that it might do nothing. Paying $59 to find that out, when $5 buys the same finding, is a bad trade regardless of which tool is better in the long run.
The refund promises are different shapes
IndexMeNow’s model is charge, wait, refund. Its own steps say a URL not indexed after 10 days is fully refunded, and it checks hourly at no cost in the meantime.
SpeedyIndex’s model is charge on result. Its tokens are spent against links that verifiably enter the index, and failures come back to the balance.
Not being billed is structurally better than being billed and reimbursed, because it never ties up your money and never depends on a refund process working. But IndexMeNow’s version has one real advantage: the hourly checking is free and visible while the clock runs, so you can watch rather than wait.
The thing neither refund covers is the ten days. If your links needed to be live for a campaign, no policy on either page returns that.
Method: both are black boxes
IndexMeNow describes sending URLs through “a combo of 3 methods” and stops there. SpeedyIndex describes directing crawler attention to your URLs and stops there.
Neither discloses mechanics. I do not think this makes either dishonest, because it is the universal standard in this category and there are competitive reasons for it. But it does mean you cannot assess what is being run against your link graph, so both should be treated as boxes you measure by outcome rather than mechanisms you evaluate on merit. Anyone who tells you they know which method is safer is guessing.
Reach: only one of them does Yandex
SpeedyIndex sells Yandex link indexing from the same balance, at a much better rate than its Google service, plus Bing and Yandex index checking. IndexMeNow is Google only.
If any of your traffic comes from Russian-speaking markets, this is a genuine feature difference and not a tiebreaker detail. If none of it does, you are simply not using part of what you bought, and it should not sway you.
Working the other way: IndexMeNow runs in French, English, Spanish and Japanese, and is plainly built for a Western market. If you are an agency putting a vendor in front of a client, or your finance team has views about where invoices come from, that is a real consideration. It is a business one rather than a technical one, and it should be priced honestly rather than dressed up as a quality judgment. I said the same thing at more length in the SpeedyIndex review.
The others worth a glance before you commit
Omega Indexer matches SpeedyIndex’s $0.10 entry rate, refunds on a 24-hour window and filters non-indexable URLs before charging, which neither of these two does. Giga Indexer logs Googlebot hits you can verify in your own server logs, though check which of its two price tables you are buying from. And IndexJump gives 100 URLs free, which beats both on the only metric that matters for a first test. The full market comparison is here.
The tie-breaker neither of them wins
Run the experiment properly or the comparison is theatre.
Take one batch of links. Submit half through whichever tool you picked. Leave the other half, matched as closely as you can for placement quality, submitted nowhere at all. Check both in two weeks.
If the submitted half does not clearly beat the control, the answer is not “try the other vendor”. It is that your links were always going to index at that rate, or never going to, and the tool is not the variable. That is the finding this whole market is structured to keep you from making, and it costs five dollars to make it.
And if these are your own pages
Then neither of these is your product and you have wandered into the wrong market. Both exist to reach URLs on domains you cannot verify. You own your site, so you have Search Console’s free and supported submission channel, and paying either company to touch pages you already control swaps a documented channel for an undisclosed one at a price.
If your own pages are sitting at crawled, currently not indexed, no product on this page changes anything, because Google has already looked and declined. That is a diagnosis problem.
Send me the URL list if you want the cause named rather than another vendor recommended. The diagnosis is free, and where the honest answer is “spend five dollars on a test and stop worrying”, you will get that instead of an invoice. Where there is real work, indexing work starts at $25 with a per-URL ledger. You can check where your pages stand right now with the free bulk index checker, or see what this looks like across location pages.
Quick answers
Which is cheaper, IndexMeNow or SpeedyIndex?
SpeedyIndex, by roughly ten times at entry and about fourteen times at the top tier, on both vendors' own listed prices. IndexMeNow's smallest pack works out near $0.98 per URL; SpeedyIndex's smallest works out near $0.10, falling to about $0.033 at volume. Neither publishes anything explaining what the premium buys.
Which one should I test first?
SpeedyIndex, purely on minimum spend. Testing IndexMeNow costs $59 because that is its smallest pack. Testing SpeedyIndex costs $5. When you are running an experiment whose honest expected outcome is 'this category may not work on my links at all', risking five dollars instead of fifty-nine is the entire argument.
Is IndexMeNow's refund better than SpeedyIndex's?
They are different shapes. IndexMeNow refunds fully if a URL is not indexed after 10 days, so you wait a week and a half to find out. SpeedyIndex charges per verified result, so unindexed links are not billed in the first place. Not being charged is structurally better than being charged and refunded, though both end with your money back.
Do either of them actually work?
Neither publishes a method, so nobody outside these companies can answer that honestly, and you should distrust anyone who says otherwise. The only answer that means anything is the one you generate yourself: run a batch through one of them, hold back a comparable set of links submitted nowhere, and compare both in two weeks.
