SpeedyIndex vs. IndexerNow: cheapest per submission isn't cheapest per result
SpeedyIndex is the cheapest sticker price in this category at around $0.006 per submitted link, and we're not going to pretend otherwise: it is roughly a tenth of what IndexerNow works out at. The catch is in the word submitted. You pay per attempt, not per result, and the attempt goes through a proprietary off-Google pipeline that reports its own outcome. IndexerNow costs more per URL and does something narrower: it pushes pages you've verified in Search Console through Google's official Indexing API, then reads Google's own verdict back. One is volume, the other is evidence.

Frequently asked
Is SpeedyIndex cheaper than IndexerNow?
Per submission, clearly yes — around $0.006 against roughly $0.06. If raw submission volume on URLs you don't own is what you need, that gap is decisive and you should take it. What the lower price doesn't include is Google's own answer about whether the page actually landed, which is what IndexerNow's URL Inspection checks give you.
What does "per submitted link" actually mean?
You're charged when the URL is sent, not when it gets indexed. A submission is a request, and no tool — ours included — can make Google index a page it doesn't want. The difference is that IndexerNow shows you Google's verdict afterwards, so an unindexed page becomes something you can diagnose instead of something you resubmit.
Which should I use for my own site's pages?
For pages you own and have verified in Search Console, the official Indexing API is the strongest crawl signal available and it's the route IndexerNow uses. Start on the free daily quota — 15 index pushes and 20 status checks a day, no card — and only buy credits if your volume outruns it.
