IndexRusher charges ~$199 lifetime for 5 domains. Solid product, fair price.

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 the same official APIs - Google Search Console Indexing API and Bing Webmaster Tools API. There's no difference in how your pages get submitted.
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.
Same Power. Fraction of the Price.
IndexRusher proved the model works. We just made it accessible to everyone.
No disrespect to IndexRusher (they built something great). We just believe that powerful SEO tools shouldn't require an annual subscription.
