Two failure strings have no defined cause in the documentation: 'Error 503' and '087 Error' are listed as things to report, not as conditions a client can handle. |
| Binding | volume-quota The link dies with the address. |
| Identity | card An application reviewed by the vendor, with email and credit-card details supplied before approval; the terms allow denial 'at any time and for any reason'. Heavier than every other service in this set. |
| Egress | Generated links are IP-locked: 'The generated links are IP address locked and they will only work with the IP they were generated with', and 'if your IP changes after the downloading has begun, your download will fail since our system doesn't allow sharing of links among multiple people(IPs)'. free allowance: none: no free tier |
| Per-object cap | Not published; per-host data transfer limits exist ('Data transfer limits exist only on few hosts, rest are unlimited') and are shown on a status page behind a login. |
| Retention | No stored content to retain: links are generated on demand and 'We don't seed torrents after they've been downloaded.' Torrent support is absent altogether. |
| Interface | rest Web link generator plus browser plugins and download-manager integrations; the FAQ documents no public REST API, and https://linksnappy.com/api returned 404 on 2026-10-23. |
| Tooling | browser extensions, JDownloader/IDM via the link generator, mobile app; no rclone backend found |
| Composes with | The host-coverage specialist: 11 of 348 hosts in the comparison index, fewer than any other service there, but it reaches some obscure hosts the others drop, so it is a per-link fallback rather than a mount. |
| Reliability | Links are IP-locked and a mid-transfer IP change fails the download; host support is the thinnest of the nine; the two most common errors ('Error 503', '087 Error') have no documented cause. |
| Notes | The gate is the earliest and the only one that can stop an account existing at all; the IP lock is the one that breaks a working account mid-download. Torrent support is absent, so the cache-behaviour question does not apply. The vendor's host status page requires a login and was not read. The legacy myaccount/news page still lists 2021-era cap upgrades (DDL 30->35 GB, Katfile 20->25 GB), which no longer matches the current 11-host table; The cheapest 7-day entry at US$4.99, and the most expensive 30 days at US$12.99, which is what 75+ hosts costs. Host-count claims conflict inside one site: 75+ (landing), 50 (FAQ), 11 rows (public status table). Flat for 37 months at USD 4.99 / 12.99 / 29.99 / 54.99, and the pricing model removes the promo-versus-renewal question entirely: every term is a one-off payment with 'No Recurring Payment'. The billed monthly rate is USD 12.99, at the highest 30-day entry price in the debrid set, against EUR 2.99-4.00 for the French services. The offer narrowed while the price did not: the FAQ answered 'Do you offer any free trials? Yes' in 2023-09 and the question is gone from 2024-10 onward, so a 37-month history that tracked only the dollar figure would have called this provider unchanged twice over. A proxy with a price, not a store. The terms and the FAQ agree, which makes this one of the cleanest zeroes. Search-engine extracts of the vendor's own checkout page (linksnappy.com/myaccount/extend) show the rail buttons 'Credit/Debit Card, Paysafecard, Bitcoin, Reseller' and linksnappy.com/landing shows 'CashtoCode Paysafecard Cryptocurrency'. No torrent support, which the comparison corpus and the FAQ both imply. A missing client is not a rejection and neither is a missing document: the API exists and answers, it is just not written down. |
| Evidence note | documented The IP-lock rule, the application gate and the prices are in the vendor's own FAQ and terms. The host count is the comparison index's, not the vendor's, and the vendor's own status page is behind a login. |

| 2026-10-23 | linksnappy.com/tos | Application-and-approval signup with credit-card data; section 9 prices 4.70/12.50/28.99/52.99 EUR; notice-and-action section citing the DSA. |
| 2026-10-23 | linksnappy.com/api | Measured: HTTP 404 from nginx, so no public API lives at that path. |
| 2026-10-23 | probe: https://linksnappy.com/landing | the Filehost Status table: RapidGator Unlimited, DDL.to Unlimited, Keep2Share 15GB/Day, 1Fichier Unlimited, Filer 40GB/Day, Turbobit Unlimited, Mega Unlimited, Isra.Cloud 10GB/Day - 44545 bytes |
| 2026-10-23 | probe: https://linksnappy.com/api/REGEX | one alternation covering ~100 host domains, 10240 bytes; the origin answers GET but returns 405 to HEAD |

| 2026-10-23 | linksnappy.com/status | the status route serves the same 29684-byte landing shell as /myaccount/status when logged out; the live table is not in the HTML |
| 2026-10-23 | probe: https://linksnappy.com/myaccount/news | the 2021 changelog still lists cap raises (DDL 30->35 GB, Katfile 20->25 GB, Hitfile 20->25 GB), none of which matches today's table |
| 2026-10-23 | probe: https://linksnappy.com/myaccount/status | byte-identical to /status: 29684 bytes, sha 5911b573..., so both routes render the same logged-out shell |

| 2026-10-23 | probe: https://linksnappy.com/templates/v3/js/main.combined.js?v=36 | the bundle's whole API surface is AUTHENTICATE, linkgen, CACHECHECKER and torrents calls - no quota endpoint, so the status table is server-rendered only |
