IndexCheckr alternatives: Google index checkers and monitors compared
IndexCheckr is a well-known bulk Google index checker with recurring checks. If you want a different pricing model, Search Console as the data source, or something free, here is how the options compare. Prices are from each vendor's public pricing page, checked 2026-11-01; they change, so follow the links.
Disclosure: we build Indexkeeper, which is in this table. It is not released yet: the extension is in development and not on the Chrome Web Store. We list what it is designed to do and say so.

How to choose
- You check many URLs you do not own (backlinks, client prospects, guest posts): Search Console cannot see those. Use a checker that queries Google directly: IndexCheckr or Rapid Index Checker.
- You only want to check now and then: IndexCheckr's credits don't expire on a monthly cycle and 2,000 checks cost $15; or a free store checker for single URLs.
- You monitor your own (or clients') sites and have Search Console access: Search Console data is Google's own record and costs nothing per check. Use the free script, IndexProbe if you want a full web app with reports, or Indexkeeper once it is out if you want a cheap monitor that keeps the data in your browser.
- You need the API, webhooks, teams: Rapid Index Checker Pro/Team, IndexCheckr (API, team members), IndexProbe Agency.
What "index checker" tools usually don't do
None of them can make Google index a page. Google's Indexing API is limited to job postings and livestream pages. "Auto-submit" features send URLs to third-party indexing services that bill separately; whether those help is disputed, and they are not a Google service.
A Chrome extension that re-checks your sitemap URLs through the same official API and alerts you when one drops out of Google's index. Free for 50 URLs; Pro $9/month. It is not on the Chrome Web Store yet: leave your email and we send one message when it is.
