Credit Where It's Due
IndexRusher by @johnrushx pioneered the "autopilot indexing" approach that we all benefit from today. They proved that automated, multi-engine indexing works. We built IndexMachine with the same philosophy - but optimized for indie hackers and solopreneurs who need the same power at a lower price point.

The Honest Comparison
Half the Price, Same Features
IndexRusher charges roughly $199 lifetime for 5 domains (about 1,000 URLs per domain). Solid product at a fair price for what they offer.
IndexMachine offers $50 lifetime for 5 domains with the same core functionality. That's 75% less.
And if you only have one site? We offer a $12.50 single-domain tier that IndexRusher doesn't match. No need to pay for 5 domains if you only need one.
Price Comparison:
- IndexRusher (5 domains): ~$199
- IndexMachine (5 domains): $50
- IndexMachine (1 domain): $12.50
- You save: 75% or more
Same Multi-Engine Support
Both IndexRusher and IndexMachine support the same search engines:
We use Google's own Request Indexing inside your own Search Console, plus IndexNow for Bing. Both are white-hat channels Google and Bing give every site owner, so your pages go in through the front door.
Full Autopilot - Just Like IndexRusher
IndexRusher popularized the "full autopilot" approach - connect your domain once and forget about it. We do exactly the same:
- Daily automatic sitemap monitoring
- New pages detected and submitted automatically
- Updated content re-submitted to search engines
- Zero manual work after initial setup
404 Alerts Included
Both tools alert you when pages return 404 errors. Broken pages hurt your SEO. We'll let you know immediately so you can fix them before they impact your rankings.
When IndexRusher Might Be Better
We're not going to pretend we're better in every way. Here's when IndexRusher makes sense:
- Established track record - IndexRusher has been around longer and has more public social proof (Product Hunt awards, etc.).
But if you're an indie hacker, solopreneur, or small team? IndexMachine gives you the same core value at 75% less, or just $12.50 if you only need one domain.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is IndexMachine cheaper than IndexRusher?
Yes, substantially. IndexRusher's lifetime deal is roughly $199 for 5 domains. IndexMachine is $12.50 lifetime for 1 site, $50 for 5 sites, or $84.50 for 10 sites with 10,000 pages each. At the 5-site comparison point, IndexMachine costs 75% less for the same autopilot indexing flow.
Does IndexMachine use the same indexing APIs as IndexRusher?
No, it takes a different route to the same autopilot. IndexMachine uses Google's own Request Indexing, the same button Google gives every site owner in Search Console, plus IndexNow for Bing, so it never depends on the Indexing API that Google has locked down. IndexMachine also pings LLM crawlers (ChatGPT and others) on the same daily schedule.
Can I switch from IndexRusher without losing indexing progress?
Yes. Indexing state lives with Google and Bing, not inside IndexRusher. Connect your domain to IndexMachine, point us at your sitemap, and we'll start submitting and monitoring. Pages already indexed by Google stay indexed. There is no data to migrate.
