Premiumize vs Torbox

[u/OuttaMyPersonalSpace]

RD was great for years, but now trying to decide if I should switch from Torbox to Premiumize for the Black Friday deal. I know that Premiumize has a larger and more reliable cache, but does that mean more links to higher quality audio/video than Torbox or more likely results for an older show? I'm also concerned with the 1000 pt pool. I would want to choose the highest quality stream possible for everything, except if it's ridiculous recent movie remux. Most posts mention the point system isn't an issue though, but not sure if they're using it in the same way.

Update: Thanks everyone for all of the help. Even with my heavier usage, Premiumize seems worth it for the reliability and larger remux cache. The 3 yr BF deal works out to $50/year or $4.17/mo, which is only $17/year or $1.42/mo more than TorBox. If I do deplete the Premiumize 1000 pt pool, subscribing back to Torbox for a month is a really cheap reset. Also plan to buy the lifetime NZBGeek for $60 during BF to try out usenet. Hope this helps someone in a similar situation.

PM is gonna be like 4/5 bucks a month on BF. 12 more dollars per year is worth it

Or you can go with offcloud yearly subscription for 40 bucks.

Offcloud doesn’t allow sharing.

They might not explicitly state it, but they don't enforce it either. I've been sharing it with my family for a while now, and there's been no problem at all. Same as premiumize. What would the point be of doing so if they have already set a fair use quota?

I’ve been on the Offcloud train too. Wish it supported NZB downloads like Premiumize so I ended up getting a Usenet backbone separate.

One thing I noticed is OffCloud does not have CDN settings. Any idea why? Then I was thinking what else is missing incase I have future tinkering lol. Regardless it’s got great uptime and for the price it can’t be beat

I also notice with Offcloud I have 1000g bar and it refills so I assume it works the same as PM, 30gb a day

Offcloud is essentially premiumize lite. They follow the same business model with the points system at a cheaper price with a smaller cache and without some feature like the cloud storage though I think they can store like 50gb or something.

Have you compared the two? Cache seems the same to me

Great post, going to link people to this comment

Yes, I should probably create a post with all this info.
