| 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; 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. |

| Binding | volume-quota the unlimited plan removes the counter but requires the $9.99 monthly relationship. A card is required either way. |
|---|
| Identity | card 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. |
|---|
| 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. free allowance: none |
|---|
| Per-object cap | No per-object cap is published. The unit of retrieval is a Usenet article, roughly 750 KB by convention. |
|---|
| 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. (6432 days) |
|---|
| Interface | rest, unknown 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 | documented 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. |
