Giga Indexer vs. IndexerNow: an honest split by URL ownership
Giga Indexer is a straightforward link indexer: paste URLs, its network works on getting them crawled, and it reports how many landed. It advertises a success rate in the region of 80% within a week. We can't audit that number and won't pretend to — what we can say is what the two tools structurally do. Giga Indexer works on any URL. IndexerNow works only on properties you've verified in Search Console, and in exchange gets Google's official Indexing API and Google's own answer about the result.

Frequently asked
Is an 80% indexing success rate good?
It depends entirely on what was submitted, and no indexer controls the outcome — Google decides. A rate measured on one pool of URLs doesn't transfer to yours. The more useful question for pages you own is why a specific URL didn't index, which is what a coverage state from Google's URL Inspection API answers and a success percentage doesn't.
Which should I use for my own site?
For pages on a property you can verify, the official Indexing API is the strongest crawl signal available, and it's the route IndexerNow uses. Start on 2 free credits a day with no card. For backlinks on sites you don't control, a network indexer like Giga Indexer is the right category.
