Hello,

Having used usenet for decades, Im hoping to use this year to build up my repository of either lifetime providers, hopefully at a blackfriday deal pricing. Or cheap yearly pricing

The only “yearly” one I am subscribed to is Dog and the greentext one that shall not be named.

I do have a lifetime sub to geek and one more, but wondering which other ones these days offer lifetime subs?

DS at nearly $25 (15 euros) for the bottom tier just isnt justifiable. I have their “free” account, and I guess its good enough.

NzbFinder I’d love to try, but they have paywalled their XXX access so can’t even “try” out their stuff fully before commiting, and even then, at $15USD/year, it’s way more expensive than both dog and the greentext one that shall not be named. Especially when taking into account dog offers massive promotions (buy 3 get 1). I think I’m subscribed to dog until like 2030. Comparing the price uplift to the greentextone, considering the greentext one is one of the OG ones. I don’t think I can justify that without “trying” and their XXX is paywalled. Their BF deal is only 15% off, not remotely enticing.

Just wondering which ones are affordable, and hopefully actually worth it? I kept hearing about nzbcat or nzbmonkey or something 5-6 years ago when I last was looking but dont think those guys opened up the invites.

Would appreciate some input on which (if any) to signup for.
