Speed Indexing vs Rapid URL Indexer
Both sell credits and give them back when the URL does not get indexed. They part company on the deadline, on the engines covered, and on what it costs to start.
Rapid URL Indexer is one of the few indexing services that made the pay per result model plain: you buy credits, you submit links, and the credits for links that never showed up in Google come back to your account. That model is the reason it gets recommended, and it is the same model Speed Indexing runs on.
So the comparison is not about whether you get refunded. It is about when the verdict lands, which search engines your credit buys, what you can plug the service into, and what a thousand URLs cost. Every Rapid URL Indexer figure below was read on its own pricing page on September 13, 2026.
The two in one sentence
Rapid URL Indexer submits to Google, watches for fourteen days, gives an interim report on day 4, refunds unindexed links in credits, and connects to WordPress, Chrome and Zapier.
Speed Indexing submits every URL to Google and to Bing for one credit, checks both on day 7, returns the credit on its own when Google does not have the URL, and spreads a batch over up to sixty days when you want it spread.

Price, pack by pack
| Volume | Speed Indexing | Rapid URL Indexer |
|---|---|---|
| Smallest paid pack | 100 credits, $9, $0.090 per URL | 500 credits, $25, $0.050 per URL |
| Around 500 URLs | 500 credits, $23, $0.046 | 500 credits, $25, $0.050 |
| 1,200 to 1,500 URLs | 1,200 credits, $48, $0.040 | 1,500 credits, $68, $0.045 |
| 4,000 to 5,000 URLs | 4,000 credits, $150, $0.038 | 5,000 credits, $213, $0.043 |
| Best rate on the grid | 10,000 credits, $330, $0.033 | 50,000 credits, $2,000, $0.040 |
At the very bottom of the range Rapid URL Indexer is cheaper per URL, because its smallest pack is already 500 credits at $0.050 while our $9 pack of 100 credits works out at $0.090. What that comparison hides is the ticket: $25 there against $9 here, plus the 10 credits you get for opening an account without a card. If you want to test a service before committing money, that gap is the whole point.
From 500 URLs upward the order flips and stays flipped. Same 500 URLs, $23 against $25. At the volume most link builders actually buy, 1,200 credits here cost $48 while 1,500 credits there cost $68, which is $0.040 against $0.045 per URL. The gap widens at the top: our best rate, $0.033, sits on a $330 pack, while Rapid URL Indexer reaches $0.040 only on its $2,000 pack of 50,000 credits. To get its cheapest unit price you have to buy five times the volume and spend six times the money. All five packs are listed with their price per URL.
The guarantee
Rapid URL Indexer watches a submitted link for fourteen days. It reports on day 4, then settles on day 14, and credits for links still missing from Google go back to your account automatically. Its Apex mode works differently: the URL costs 3 credits, gets three attempts with a five minute target, and one credit comes back if it fails.
Speed Indexing settles once, on day 7. The URL is looked up in the Google index. If it is there, the credit is spent. If it is not, the credit returns in full, dated, with nothing to claim and no support ticket to open. Bing is looked up in the same pass and the answer is stored next to the Google one, but it never affects the refund: a URL that Bing took and Google did not still gives you your credit back.
Seven days against fourteen matters when you are working a campaign. A refunded URL can be resubmitted straight away, so a shorter cycle means a second attempt a week earlier. Against that, Rapid URL Indexer tells you something on day 4 and we tell you nothing before day 7. If you want an early reading, that is a real advantage on their side.
What Rapid URL Indexer does better
It plugs into things. A WordPress plugin, a Chrome extension and a Zapier connector. Speed Indexing has none of the three. If your workflow is a WordPress site where new posts should be pushed the moment they publish, that plugin saves you writing anything. Our answer is a REST API and a signed webhook, which is fine if you write code and useless if you do not.
It has an urgent mode. Apex targets five minutes, at 3 credits per URL with three attempts. There is no equivalent here. Every URL goes through the same path at one credit, and the verdict comes on day 7. For a press release or a page tied to a date, that difference decides it.
Its API is faster, and the service has a track record. 100 requests per minute against our 60. And it has been running long enough to turn up by name in search suggestions, which counts for something when you hand a tool to a client. Speed Indexing launched in September 2026 and has few public reviews.
It publishes a number. 91% average indexing rate, on its own pages, attributed to itself. We publish no rate, because we have no measurement we could stand behind. Read theirs for what it is, a vendor's claim, but at least there is a claim.
What Speed Indexing does better
Bing costs nothing extra. Every URL goes to Google and to Bing on the same credit, and both indexes are checked on day 7. Rapid URL Indexer names Google only. Bing weighs more than its search share suggests, because several answer engines read from its index, and a page held by one engine is often missing from the other.
The verdict lands a week earlier. Day 7 against day 14 for the final word, and a refunded URL goes straight back into a new batch.
Nothing doomed gets billed. Before a URL is charged, it is checked for a noindex in the page or in the HTTP header, a 404, a 403, a server error, a redirect, a robots.txt block, and a canonical pointing at another page. A URL that fails is rejected, not charged, and not refunded later either, because it never cost anything. A URL your own account already submitted in the last thirty days is rejected the same way.
You can try it for nothing. Ten credits at sign up, no card. Rapid URL Indexer starts at $25.
Batches can be spread. A slider sets the spread from 0 to 60 days, so a thousand new links do not all arrive on the same day. Rapid URL Indexer offers no drip feed.
It costs less from 500 URLs up, and it reaches its best unit price on a $330 pack rather than a $2,000 one.

Frequently asked questions
Is Rapid URL Indexer free?
No. Its pricing page listed no free trial on September 13, 2026, and the smallest pack was 500 credits for $25. Speed Indexing gives 10 credits when you open an account, with no card, which is enough to send ten URLs and see the day 7 verdict on each of them.
Which one is cheaper?
Speed Indexing, at every comparable volume. 500 credits cost $23 here against $25 there. 1,200 credits cost $48 here, or $0.040 per URL, against $68 for 1,500 credits there, or $0.045. The 10,000 credit pack is $330, or $0.033 per URL, a rate Rapid URL Indexer reaches only on its 50,000 credit pack at $2,000. Prices read on September 13, 2026.
Does Rapid URL Indexer submit to Bing?
Its pages name Google and only Google. Speed Indexing sends every URL to Google and to Bing for one credit, checks both on day 7, and shows the two results side by side in your account. The refund still follows Google: a URL that Bing took and Google did not still returns its credit.
What does the 91% indexing rate mean?
It is the figure Rapid URL Indexer publishes about itself on its own pages. We have not measured it, and we publish no rate of our own, because we have no audited measurement to show. What we publish instead is the rule: if Google does not have the URL on day 7, you get the credit back.
Can I move from Rapid URL Indexer to Speed Indexing?
Yes, and there is nothing to migrate. Credits do not transfer between providers, so spend what you have there first. Export your URL list, paste it into a new batch here, up to 1,000 URLs at a time, or upload a txt or csv file. The 30 day duplicate rule applies to your own account only, so a URL you sent elsewhere last week is accepted today.
What happens to a URL that cannot be indexed?
It is rejected before billing. Speed Indexing checks each URL for a noindex in the page or in the HTTP header, a 404, a 403, a server error, a redirect, a block in robots.txt, and a canonical pointing at another page. A URL that fails one of those is not charged at all. Rapid URL Indexer handles the same case through its guarantee, by refunding non indexable links in credits.
