## Easynews

- `debrid/easynews` | paid-only | evidence documented | binding volume-quota | category Usenet provider with web-to-Usenet interface (United States) - no free trial | tier Big Gig
- needs card yes, phone no, ID no, institution no | verified 2026-10-30T13:11:55.967Z (live) | stale on 2026-11-30
- url https://www.easynews.com/usenet-plans/
- free tier: None. The vendor's own help centre says: "Easynews does not offer a traditional free trial. Instead, it provides a 30-day money back guarantee on all new plans." The plans page sells "30-Day Money-Back Guarantee" as the risk-free route. | unit: none | metered on: none | read on: 2026-10-23 | source: [1] | note: Affiliate pages advertise "14 days or 10 GB of data from Easynews"; the vendor's own knowledge base denies a free trial. The vendor page is the evidence and the affiliate claim is false.
- per-object cap: No per-object cap is published. The unit of retrieval is a Usenet article, roughly 750 KB by convention. | source: [2]
- retention: "6432+ Days Article Retention" on the Big Gig row; a checkout page read the same day said "6643+ Days". The conservative figure is kept. | days: 6432 | source: [2] | note: Two vendor surfaces give different day counts on the same day; the smaller is recorded.
- egress: Metered by monthly data allowance on the Big Gig plan (150 GB/month); the unlimited-data plan is priced separately. No per-TB overage price is published on the page read. | metered: yes | free allowance: none | source: [2]
- identity: card | detail: Every plan is a paid subscription; the 30-day guarantee is a refund against a charge, not a free tier. The checkout asks for an email address and one of three payment methods: a credit card (first name, last name, zip code, country and card number), PayPal, or cryptocurrency (BTC and other coins); a cryptocurrency purchase is not refundable. The form has no phone field.
- interface: rest, unknown
- limits:
  - volume-quota (binding): 150 GB/month on Big Gig; unlimited on the unlimited plan [2]
  - retention-clamped: 6432+ days on Big Gig [2]
- binding note: the unlimited plan removes the counter but requires the $9.99 monthly relationship. A card is required either way.
- interface detail: Web-to-Usenet browser interface plus NNTP (200+ days on the mail-in Classic, 6432+ days on Big Gig, 60 connections). The web interface is the distinguishing feature; the schema has no nntp token, so the second token is unknown.
- tooling: browser (no client needed); NNTP clients also work
- composes with: Not a free step.
- reliability: The refund requires a request inside 30 days; the vendor KB documents the policy. No suspension report was read.
- notes: Repeatability: not applicable, because there is no free trial to repeat. Abandonment: if a free trial appears in the help centre, this becomes a trial record. PayPal is listed, but PayPal guest checkout still requires a funding card, and Easynews presents PayPal as a subscription authorisation rather than a one-off, so it is not a cardless route.
- evidence note: Both the absence of a trial and the plan numbers are quoted from vendor pages read. The vendor's own KB contradicts the affiliate claim of a 10 GB trial.
- extras:
  - repeatable: not-applicable
  - repeat_basis: no free trial
  - affiliate_claim_refuted: "Click here for 14 days or 10 GB of data from Easynews" (shareconnector.net) against the vendor KB's "does not offer a traditional free trial"
  - payment_group: card
  - payment.card: yes
  - payment.paypal: yes
  - payment.voucher: no
  - payment.entry_price: not read
