URL Indexer vs RapidURLIndexer

If you want a quick answer: pick URL Indexer when you have a small or occasional list and want to start free, and consider RapidURLIndexer when you need its specific refund-on-no-index credit model at higher volume. Both submit your URLs to Google for indexing, neither requires you to own the site, and both work on third-party backlinks. The differences come down to the free tier, how you pay, and how you track results.

RapidURLIndexer is a well-known pay-per-link tool. You buy credits, submit URLs, and it requests indexing at scale. Its standout feature is a refund: if a link is not indexed within its check window, that credit is returned to your balance. URL Indexer takes a similar approach to submission but leads with a free daily tier and a public status page so you can watch each batch without paying first.

Does either tool have a free tier?

URL Indexer has a genuinely free tier; RapidURLIndexer is paid from the first link. With URL Indexer you can submit up to 10 URLs per day at no cost, with no signup and no credit card. You paste your pages or backlinks, add an email, and the batch is submitted. That makes it easy to test indexing on a few important pages before you spend anything. RapidURLIndexer uses a credit-based model where you pay per link from the start, typically a few cents per link depending on the pack you buy.

How does the pricing model differ?

Both use credits with no subscription, but the credit terms differ. RapidURLIndexer charges a few cents per link and refunds credits for links not indexed inside its check window, which is appealing if you submit large volumes and want to pay mainly for results. URL Indexer offers optional one-time credit packs where 1 credit indexes 1 URL and credits never expire, so unused balance stays usable indefinitely. Neither tool locks you into a recurring plan.

URL Indexer's packs are priced in CAD: Starter is $9 for 100 credits, Growth is $19 for 300, Pro is $49 for 1,000 (the most popular), Agency is $99 for 2,500, and Scale is $199 for 6,000. Because credits never expire, you can buy once and draw down over months. If you want a deeper breakdown of the trade-offs, see our guide on free versus paid URL indexers.

Can both submit backlinks on sites you do not own?

Yes, both can submit backlinks on sites you do not own, which is the main reason people reach for tools like these. Google Search Console only lets you request indexing for properties you have verified, so it will never accept a backlink from someone else's domain. Because URL Indexer and RapidURLIndexer send indexing-request signals without needing Search Console access, you can submit guest posts, directory links, forum profiles, and other third-party URLs. If backlinks are your focus, our walkthrough on how to index your backlinks covers the workflow.

How do you track what actually gets indexed?

URL Indexer gives you a live status page per batch plus follow-up email reports; RapidURLIndexer reports indexing status inside its dashboard. With URL Indexer, every submission gets a sharable status page that updates as URLs are checked, and you receive follow-up reports at 3, 7, and 30 days so you can see how a batch matures without logging back in. RapidURLIndexer shows indexed and not-indexed counts in its account view, which ties directly into its refund logic. Both let you confirm results rather than guess.

How much setup does each one need?

• URL Indexer: no account required for the free tier. Paste URLs, add an email, submit. Bulk submission accepts a pasted list, and you only create credits if you exceed the daily free limit.
• RapidURLIndexer: create an account and buy credits before your first submission, then paste your links into the dashboard. Setup is straightforward but starts behind a paywall.
• Both: no Search Console verification, no DNS changes, and no plugin to install. Neither tool edits your pages.
