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 SEOTesting if
- Fits if you want to know whether a title or content change moved clicks
- Works for teams of any size, since users are unlimited and only websites are counted
Look elsewhere if
- Watch out: if you don't subscribe when the trial ends, your site data is deleted 7 days later
- Not for you if you need rankings inside AI answers, as it sees only Google and AI referral traffic
- Pricey if you run lots of sites, at $375 a month for 20 and a quote beyond that
- Tight if you want annual billing, which is arranged only by email
- Watch out: internal linking reports draw on monthly InternalLinking.com credits, 25, 75 or 300 by plan
How we grade them
| 2.2GPAIndexCheckrFair | 2.2GPASEOTestingFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | BCredit packs that never expire: $15 for 2,000 checks, down to $0.0013 a check on the biggest pack. Checking 500 pages once a week uses about 2,000 credits a month, so about $15 a month on the smallest pack, inside this category's cheaper quarter. | CSingle Site is $50 a month for one website, between this category's middle and its dearer quarter. Users are unlimited on every plan, but websites are what you pay for: 5 are $125 and 20 are $375. |
| Free plan and trial | DNo free plan. New accounts get 50 free credits, one check each, so you can try it on 50 URLs once before buying a pack. | CNo free plan, but the 14-day trial needs no card and covers the full product for up to 30 sites. Charities can ask for a free subscription by email. |
| Features | CBulk checks from pasted lists, CSV files or sitemaps, scheduled rechecks with alerts, backlink page checks, sending pages to indexing services, history and exports. It does index checking fully, but that's a smaller job, and results come through proxies. | CBefore-and-after and split tests, redirect tests, AI referral traffic from Analytics, content decay, cannibalization and CTR reports, and sitemap and robots.txt alerts. It does SEO testing fully, but that's a smaller job, and it can't see rankings in AI answers. |
| Ease of use | CNo rating on record. A Quick Check is pasting URLs, but projects, schedules and credit budgets take planning, since checking stops when credits run out. | CNo rating on record. Nothing goes on your site, but you connect Search Console and Analytics and log each change before a test means anything. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb and a Chrome extension, with a REST API, Google Sheets, Zapier and six indexing services. No desktop or phone app. | BWeb and a Chrome extension, with an API, an MCP server, a Looker Studio connector and InternalLinking.com. No desktop or phone app. |

Worth knowing
IndexCheckr
- It detects indexing by querying Google through proxies, so big projects take time and a page can briefly show as not indexed.
- Every check uses a credit, scheduled rechecks included, and checking stops when credits run out.
- Submitting pages to an indexing service needs separate credits bought from that service.
- Results of a Quick Check, made outside a project, are kept for only 30 days.
SEOTesting
- Results rest on Search Console and Google Analytics data, so it shows Google and AI referral traffic, not rankings in AI answers.
- If you do not subscribe when the trial ends, your site data is deleted 7 days later.
- Plans are priced by websites: more than 20 needs a quote, and annual billing is arranged only by email.
- Internal linking reports draw on monthly InternalLinking.com credits: 25, 75 or 300 depending on the plan.

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.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
