Free tier	No free tier. The site offers a 7-day risk-free period that it describes as a refund, not a trial: 'you can try it risk-free for 7 days, without limitations. Not happy? We'll refund your payment'. unit none; metered on none
Price	USD 1.79 (entry plan)
Per-object cap	no per-object cap is published; the unit of retrieval is a Usenet article, ~750 KB by convention, so a 1 TiB month is roughly 1.4 million article fetches
Retention	Retention is not stated on the home page read. The r/usenet map records a 3,000-day retention with 1,500-day primary and 1,500-day secondary backfill. (3000 days)
Egress	Unlimited volume on the unlimited plans; account sharing permitted; posting enabled by default free_allowance: unlimited
Identity	card Email plus a paid plan; the 7-day window refunds a payment rather than avoiding one.
Limits	request-rate 30+ simultaneous connections source volume-quota soft 5 TB/month on unlimited plans, reset on request via support - reported, not on the vendor page source retention-clamped 3,000 days, reported; not stated on the vendor page source Packages start at $1.79/mo with no coupon required, per the vendor. Blocks are sold separately; the r/usenet deals wiki records a 500 GB block at EUR 13.99 and a 2,000 GB block at EUR 18 in a Black Friday listing, neither of which was on the page read.
Binding	none The vendor publishes no volume cap; the reported soft ceiling is 5 TB/month, which 1 TiB/month does not reach.
Interface	nntp NNTP over TLS on port 563; no HTTP or object API exists for the download path, so the client drives it through SABnzbd, NZBGet or nzbdav
Tooling	SABnzbd, NZBGet or nzbdav over NNTP/TLS; any newsreader works because the protocol is the same everywhere, and no provider SDK is needed
Composes with	Stacks as a cheap fill or as a low-cost primary for recent content; the ASN it shares with UsenetExpress makes it a weaker second feed than its independence suggests.
Reliability	Independent Dutch platform (ViperNews B.V., formerly mapped as Uzo Reto) that has shared an ASN with UsenetExpress since 2023, which makes it a less independent second feed than it looks.
Notes	A 3,000-day spool is roughly half of Omicron's. For anything older than eight years this provider is the wrong primary.
Evidence rung	reported The price floor and the 7-day refund are vendor-stated and read today. Retention and the soft cap are third-party only, and retention decides the retrieval verdict, so the record sits at the reported rung.
