Alibis Review

Alibis is a fresh new Usenet provider, offering exceptionally good value for money, as well as an entirely fully featured service. If they can pull off their claims, they are going to become a serious threat to the big boys such as GigaNews. One nice feature, is the fact they also offer an easy to navigate browser based client, with thumbnail previews and direct downloads. Read on, Alibis are the new kid on the block.

Binary Retention

Binary retention is a respectable 365 days, and most people will find this entirely acceptable. Popular items usually get reposted regularly, and a year is plenty for more obscure stuff.

Pricing

Once again, when it comes to pricing, Alibis are bucking the trend to follow their own course. No tiered access style range of accounts here, just a single account, with unlimited access for $14.95 per month. Major savings can be had by taking a 6 month or annual submission.

Alibis Free Trial

Unfortunately, Alibis does not offer a free trial, although it should be noted that the $8.95 for the first month offer is quite generous, and in some ways negates the downside of not having a free trial available.
