- price USD 5.00 (unlimited, annual at $60/yr)
- free tier: No free tier and no free trial, stated explicitly: 'NewsDemon does not offer a free trial. We used to, but payment processing partners discourage trial-to-paid conversion flows'. | unit: none | metered on: none | read on: 2026-10-23 | source: [1]
- per-object cap: no per-object cap is published | source: [1]
- retention: 5,914+ days of binary and text retention on the plans page; the block page prints 5,854++ days. The conservative figure is recorded. | days: 5854 | source: [1]
- egress: Unlimited speed and downloads on the unlimited plans; 50 SSL connections on every plan | metered: no | free allowance: unlimited | source: [1]
- identity: card | detail: No trial at all, so a card or another accepted payment is required before the first byte. The vendor does not publish its payment list on the pages read; crypto is reported by the r/usenet deals wiki and was not confirmed here.
- interface: nntp
- limits:
  - request-rate: 50 SSL connections on every plan, including the $3 metered tier [2]
  - volume-quota: 50 GB/month on the metered tier; blocks of 100 GB, 500 GB and 1 TB never expire [3]
  - retention-clamped: 5,854 to 5,914 days depending on the page [3]
- limits note: Three unlimited terms (monthly, quarterly, annual) plus metered 50/100/200 GB and non-expiring blocks. Blocks are listed twice on the same page at two price columns: 100 GB at $15 or $17, 500 GB at $47 or $49, 1000 GB at $87 or $89. A separate page offers a 100 GB block for $5 and a 50 GB metered plan for $3/mo.
- binding note: The annual unlimited plan publishes no byte counter. At 1 TiB/month nothing in the vocabulary binds on that tier; the metered tier would bind at 50 GB by construction.
- interface detail: NNTP over TLS on port 563; no HTTP or object API exists for the download path, so a user drives it through SABnzbd, NZBGet or nzbdav
- composes with: The usual shape is a NewsDemon unlimited primary plus an Abavia block as fill: two independent spools, one subscription and one prepaid allowance.
- reliability: UsenetExpress backbone with NewsDemon's own spool on top, three regions (US East, US West, EU), 550 TB/day feed claimed. Post-quantum encryption is advertised on every plan.
- notes: The $3 metered plan is the cheapest paid entry of any provider and carries the same 50 connections as the unlimited plans.
- evidence note: All prices and the explicit refusal of a free trial come from vendor pages read. The two block price columns disagree with each other on the same page and the record keeps the higher.
