Which one should you pick?
Pick Brandfolder if
You’re building around enterprise marketing teams. Brandfolder is the enterprise DAM Smartsheet bought to lock in the upmarket — beautiful for big marketing teams managing thousands of approved brand assets, total overkill for a podcast network that just needs to share show art and sponsor reads. If you're price-shopping under $1,000/mo, look elsewhere.
Pick WeTransfer if
You’re building around occasional senders. WeTransfer used to be the universal file-transfer link — drop a 2GB file, send a link, done. The free tier got slashed (10 transfers and 3GB per 30 days, files expire in 3 days) and the old Pro plan is gone.
