Credit Where It's Due

We built IndexMachine with the same philosophy - but optimized for indie hackers and solopreneurs who need the same power at a lower price point.

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.

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.
