Which one is for you
Pick IndexCheckr if
- Fits if you buy links and want to know whether the pages carrying them are indexed
- Works for checking a batch of new pages now and then without a monthly bill
Look elsewhere if
- Watch out: every check spends a credit, scheduled rechecks too, and checking stops when credits run out
- Not for you if you need quick answers on big projects, as checks through proxies take time and can briefly show pages as not indexed
- Tight if you send pages to indexing services, which need their own credits bought from each service
- Skip it if you want a real trial first, as the free start is 50 checks
- Watch out: Quick Check results made outside a project are kept for only 30 days
Pick Indexing Insight if
- Fits if you run SEO for a large publisher or shop with many pages to keep indexed
- Works for showing engineers indexing data before you ask for their time
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you want to try it without a card, as the 7-day trial asks for one
- Watch out: monthly and annual payments aren't refundable, and if Google cuts API access, refunds stop at 20% of the year left
- Tight if you want the API, crawl stats or BigQuery export, which start at $150 a month
- Pricey if your site is small, as the cheapest plan is $75 a month plus tax for 100,000 URLs

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
