| Free tier | Free account: maximum file size 20 GB, 2 torrents, files kept 7 days, limited download speed, limited storage size, no streaming. A guest gets 20 GB, 1 torrent, limited speed, and nothing is stated about retention. unit GB; metered on stored-bytes; the vendor's own plan table; the free row is deliberately blank for several cells |
|---|---|
| Price | free tier; premium price not published on the page read |
| Limits |
the vendor publishes no byte quota and no API rate limit; older reviews report a 150 KB/s free speed cap and a 1 GB free file limit, both contradicted by the current plan table, which was read. |
| Binding | per-object-cap A 20 GiB torrent sits just above the 20 GB free cap, so the size check is what fails first, before the 7-day clock or the two-torrent slot count. |
| Identity | anonymous guest use needs nothing: 'ZbigZ can be used absolutely free and without registrations.' A free account is an email and password. |
| Egress | Free is 'Download speed Limited' with no number; Premium is 'Download speed Unlimited'. No byte allowance is stated on any row. free allowance: not published |
| Per-object cap | 'Max file size 20 GB' on both Guest and Free account rows; 'Unlimited' on Premium. (20000000000 bytes) |
| Retention | 'Files kept for 7 days' on the free account; the guest row is blank; Premium is 'Unlimited'. (7 days) |
| Interface | rest HTTPS download from the 'My Files' page; no API is documented anywhere on the site, only a browser UI and a browser extension. |
| Tooling | browser only; no API, no CLI, no rclone backend. A wrapper would have to drive the web session. |
| Composes with | the account-free guest route makes it the fastest way to test whether a 20 GB torrent is fetchable at all, before paying anyone; the 7-day retention rules it out as storage. |
| Reliability | the plan table leaves storage size and guest retention blank, and the site's numbers have changed without any changelog; the interface is dated and there is no support channel named. |
| Notes | The one free tier whose published per-file cap (20 GB) is within a few percent of the 20 GiB case, and the only one usable with no account at all. Whether a 21.47 GB torrent is rejected depends on GB versus GiB, which the vendor does not say. |
| Evidence note | documented the plan comparison table was read on the mobile payment page, which is the only page carrying it (zbigz.com/payment renders only a headline). The 20 GB versus 20 GiB boundary is untested. |
