| Free tier | Free tier reported as 5 NZB downloads and 25 API hits per day, no XXX access; Basic EUR 10/year gives 5,000 API hits and unlimited downloads, Pro EUR 20/year 20,000, Elite EUR 35/year unlimited plus Spotweb. The vendor's own caps declares <limits max="100" default="100"/> and <registration available="yes" open="yes"/>. unit requests; metered on request-count; Two 2026 third-party tables agree on 5 downloads / 25 API per day; a 2013 vendor forum post said 10 API and 5 downloads, and a March 2020 promotion raised it temporarily to 250 API and 100 downloads. The conservative 25 is kept. |

Registration is declared open today, which is the one difference that matters against every other invite-only indexer. |
|---|
| Binding | request-rate At a 1 TiB/month habit the daily counter is what stops a user: 25 API hits a day is roughly one search per hour, and the 5-grab cap allows about 50 GB a day at a 10 GB average NZB, which is 1.5 TB a month only if nothing retries. |
|---|
| Identity | email Registration declares itself open in caps and /register serves an email field with the warning 'Temporary e-mail domains are banned', plus a verification link. Spam-blocking is the gate, not an invite. |
|---|
| Egress | No byte metering; the API returns pointers. |
|---|
| Per-object cap | not applicable: an NZB pointer file |
|---|
| Retention | '18+ years of posts in our DB' (login page strapline); a third-party listing claims 'over 3,600 days of binary content, 500,000+ NZBs indexed'. |
|---|
| Interface | rest Newznab API on the same host at /api. caps advertises 100 results per request and open registration. The site lists Sonarr, Radarr, Prowlarr, NZBHydra 2, SickChill/SickGear, Chaptarr, Mylar, Lazylibrarian and Lidarr as compatible. |
|---|
| Tooling | Native Newznab, no wrapper: Prowlarr, NZBHydra2 and every arr app add it with URL plus key. |
|---|
| Composes with | An open-registration indexer with a real API key on the free tier, so it can carry an arr stack at 25 searches and 5 grabs a day before EUR 10/year lifts the ceiling. |
|---|
| Reliability | Free accounts have been re-capped before without notice (the 2013 status post reverted a temporary lift), so a free allowance is a policy number that can change under a running stack. |
|---|
| Notes | The open-registration flag in caps is the strongest single fact on this record, and it is what separates NZBFinder from DrunkenSlug, NZBPlanet, Tabula Rasa and NinjaCentral today. |
|---|
| Evidence note | reported caps and the open-registration flag were measured; the free allowance that decides the verdict is third-party. |
