Snapshot
EasyHits4U and Hits A Million were both established in 2003 and both run manual-surf credit systems. The pricing structure is where they split: EasyHits4U is listed free-only, while Hits A Million offers free+paid.
Free-only vs. upgrade path
If you want to stay entirely free, EasyHits4U matches that constraint directly — there's no upsell to navigate. Hits A Million gives you the option to pay for a better ratio or placement if the free tier isn't moving enough traffic for you, at the cost of an extra decision to make before you get value out of the site.
- EasyHits4U: manual_surf, free only, established 2003
- Hits A Million: manual_surf, free+paid, established 2003
Recommended test
Start both on free credits. If Hits A Million's paid tier is within your budget and the free-tier results look promising, test the upgrade before assuming it's necessary — plenty of exchange traffic is low-intent regardless of tier.
Verdict
Same launch year, same credit mechanic — the deciding factor is whether you want a paid upgrade available. If you're committed to staying free, EasyHits4U keeps things simple. If you might want to scale later, Hits A Million gives you that option without switching sites.
