Here’s our NZB.su review for 2026. NZB.su has been around since 2012 and it’s one of the better known NZB indexers. It runs on newznab, so it’s fully automated and it works with your download apps. The big news is NZB.su is now called NZB.life. If you already had an account, it moved over with you. And it’s still open to new members, you don’t need an invite.
NZB.su Is Now NZB.life
The site moved to nzb.life. Your account, API key and RSS feeds all carry over, so you don’t have to sign up again. The old nzb.su address still works for now, but it’s being shut off in April 2027. So if you use it in Sonarr, Radarr or NZBHydra2, change the address to api.nzb.life now so nothing breaks later.
What NZB.su Is
NZB.su is an NZB indexer. It’s not a Usenet provider and it’s not a newsreader. It keeps track of what gets posted to the newsgroups, so you can search without downloading headers yourself. When you find something you grab the NZB, and your newsreader downloads it from your provider. If you want to compare it with other indexers, see our NZBPlanet review, our NZBGeek review or our best NZB sites list.
Easynews is our top choice among the best NZB search options. It’s an all-in-one service. You get unlimited high-speed Usenet access plus its own search, and the results are really accurate. It’s easy to use. You log into your Easynews account, type in the search bar and hit enter.

Membership and Price
Free
Anyone can sign up for a free account. It’s fine for trying the site out, but the daily limits are tight and free accounts don’t get the extras. You’ll see ads too.
VIP
VIP gets you a lot more NZB grabs and API hits every day, plus the forum. Recent reviews put VIP at around $9 for six months, with about 5,000 API hits and 600 grabs a day. Prices change though, so check the site before you pay. Either way it’s cheap next to a lot of other indexers.
Using It With Your Apps
This is where NZB.su really helps. It has an API, so you can hook it up to Sonarr, Radarr, NZBGet, SABnzbd or NZBHydra2 and they’ll search it for you. Just put in api.nzb.life as the address and add the API key from your account page. The free account gets very little API use, so you’ll want VIP for this.
How to Use NZB.su
Log in and type what you’re looking for in the search. You’ll see the title, age, size and newsgroup for each post. When you find what you’re looking for, click to download the NZB. Then open it in your newsreader and it downloads the files. That’s it.
Security
The site runs over SSL, so your searches and NZB downloads are encrypted. Your provider should use SSL too, most of them do now.
You Still Need a Usenet Provider
NZB.su only gives you the NZB. The actual files come from your Usenet provider, so you need one of those too. We use UsenetServer. It keeps 6,585+ days of posts, so older NZBs still work. See our UsenetServer review for pricing.
Conclusion
NZB.su, now NZB.life, is still a good indexer and it doesn’t cost much. It’s open to new members, the API works with all the usual apps and VIP is cheap. Just switch to the new address before April 2027. Pair it with a good provider like UsenetServer and you’re set.
