### NZB Finder - The number one pick for 2026

NZB Finder starts at $15 per year, requires no invite, and works with Prowlarr, Sonarr, Radarr, and Readarr. Its custom web interface, fast API, saved searches, and strong TV, movie, and ebook metadata make it our number-one primary indexer.

The published plans make the tradeoffs clear before purchase: Basic includes 5,000 API calls and downloads, while higher tiers increase or remove those limits. Read the full review for the plan table and our testing notes.

### NZB Geek - Great generic indexer

NZB Geek normally costs $12 per year, accepts registrations without an invite, and offers unlimited API calls and NZB grabs on paid plans. GeekSeek, NZB Hunt, and a large community make it a practical choice for both manual search and automation.

We rank it second because recent user reports show that coverage and completion can vary, while occasional API incidents still make a second indexer useful. Its annual, five-year, and lifetime options remain compelling for budget-conscious users.

## Recommended Usenet Provider

An indexer finds NZB files, but a Usenet provider retrieves the articles they reference. NewsGroupDirect is our current provider recommendation for users who want multiple backbones in one subscription.
