In this case, we've broken down the comparison into a few significant criteria. These are judged according to which program offers the better user experience. It should be pointed out that both programs have been given remarkably positive reviews by a large community of users. In the case of SABnzbd you have a piece of software with an incredibly positive legacy and which was redesigned in 2014 to correct and improve upon some of the issues folks had running SABnzbd. NZBGet has done a solid job surpassing SABnzbd in certain areas. It is expected that if development on the project continues, it will not just be a SABnzbd alternative but it will become the preferred choice for downloading. That being said, there are still some things that SABnzbd does better. SABnzbd is written in Python, which is an interpreted language. Interpreted languages tend to have slower runtime speeds than do compiled languages like C++. NZBGet is written in C++, and this translates to not only using far fewer system resources than SABnzbd, but a faster runtime as well. Now, for newer PCs, you're probably not going to notice much of a difference. If you're downloading on a laptop or an older PC, you're likely going to want to go with NZBGet because it runs much lighter than its older brother. It is light enough to run fast on Raspberry PI and Synology SAS devices. This, in essence, underlies the largest difference between the two very popular Usenet downloaders.

Customization and Features: NZBGetĪs the newer project, it builds on many of the features that SABnzbd offered.

Faster runtime speeds do not result in a loss of features. NZBGet actually expands on what SABnzbd can do, building on the rich feature set that it has provided its users with for years. On top of that, it is still in active development, with new features and settings being added each year. Meanwhile, SABnzbd appears to be in maintenance mode. The interface and feature list haven't changed much over the past few years, and unless someone decides to fork the project, that looks unlikely to change. The biggest upgrade from SABnzbd is that it allows users to control the interface from a mobile device.

Third-party apps like Couchpotato and Headphones can now communicate with it using the RCP-API service. One of the issues with SABnzbd is that you have to open another browser tab in order to access different pages.
