What is LinkSnappy?
LinkSnappy is a multi-host link generator tool that lets you either download files from different cloud storage services in one panel or stream torrent files directly via an embedded video player without downloading. In terms of functionality, the Torrent to Direct Link service uses HTML5 video players but LinkSnappy states on its website that an undisclosed number of video encoding formats won’t stream. LinkSnappy caches files fast, with speeds of 1GB per second. Caching refers to the process of storing files on a local hard drive or network disk.
You can watch your files hosted on the cloud using LinkSnappy’s embedded video player and your IP address is stored in internal directories and secured from third-parties. However, the private IP address feature isn’t available for those on a one month free trial and you must purchase an Elite subscription in order to access this. In addition, LinkSnappy fetches your files from multiple filehosts and automates the link generation process when integrated with browsers plugins such as jDownloader. There’s also an LSE Credits program whereby if you refer a friend/family member to LinkSnappy and they open an Elite account, you can get $0.1 per referral.
Plans and pricing
LinkSnappy offers three Elite account plans, including $4.99 for a seven day subscription, $12.99 for a one month subscription, $29.99 for a 90 day subscription and a high $54.99 for a 180 day subscription. However, LinkSnappy doesn’t offer annual subscription plans and the one month free trial doesn’t include 25GB of daily storage for the Torrent to Direct Link service.

Conclusion
LinkSnappy is recommended to users who are looking to download files from different cloud storage services in one panel or stream torrent files directly via an embedded video player without downloading. However, high download speeds of 1GB per second are only available for Elite accounts, which can go as high as $54.99 for a 180 day subscription and there’s no option to deposit using credit or debit cards.
But if you don’t mind this, LinkSnappy can still be a great option if you’re looking for plugins for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Miphony and jDownloader which allow you to generate automated links through any of these browsers or a privacy feature which lets you download files without revealing your IP address. LinkSnappy could improve its service by offering phone support or the option to deposit using credit or debit cards.
