The IndexChex percentages are averages from IndexChex's own weekly measurement on recurring URL sets (October 2026). Rapid URL Indexer's 91% is its own published average. Neither is third-party audited, and the URL sets behind them are different.
What the refund changes
Rapid URL Indexer's model sits between pure credit pricing and pure pay-per-result. A buyer pays for every URL up front, then gets credits back for links still unindexed at day 14. The effective price is therefore per indexed URL, but the cash outlay is per submitted URL and the refund is reusable credit.
A 1,000-URL batch shows the effect. At the 500-credit pack rate the batch needs $50 of credit. If 910 URLs index (the published 91% average), 90 credits come back and the net spend is 910 x $0.05 = $45.50. The same batch on IndexChex standard costs $4.40 at the Starter pack rate or $1.40 at the Enterprise pack rate, with nothing returned. At its 85%+ measured rate that is about $0.0052 to $0.0016 per indexed URL. The arithmetic for other vendors is on the pay-per-indexed vs credit pricing page.
Verification approach
Rapid URL Indexer reports on the URLs it was asked to index: an initial report at 4 days and a final one at 14. That report is also what triggers the refund. IndexChex runs index checking as a separate product that can be pointed at any list, including links indexed by another tool, and can schedule a re-check 1 to 5 days after a submission. URLs that come back not indexed can be resubmitted in one step. Teams that want a second opinion on a vendor's own report tend to value the separate checker; teams that only want a final count may not need it.
Integrations
Rapid URL Indexer offers a WordPress plugin and Zapier connection in addition to its REST API, which suits sites that want new posts submitted automatically. IndexChex has no plugin; it offers a REST API and a v2 endpoint set that mirrors SpeedyIndex, covered on the API compatibility page.

FAQ
Does Rapid URL Indexer refund money or credits?
Its pricing page says the credits for a standard-mode link that is not indexed after 14 days are automatically refunded. They return as credits to the account, not as a card refund.
How does 91% compare with 85%+?
They are self-reported by different vendors on different URL sets, so they are not directly comparable. Rapid URL Indexer reports a 91% average; IndexChex reports 85%+ in standard mode from weekly measurements on recurring URL sets.
Which has a faster mode?
Rapid URL Indexer's Apex mode claims about 5 minutes at 3 credits per URL. IndexChex instant mode reports 95%+ indexed within 5 to 10 minutes on average at 60 credits per URL.
