Which one should you pick?
Pick Frontify if
You’re building around brand portals at scale. Frontify is brand-management software for teams that have outgrown PDF brand guidelines. Pricing is custom, but published ranges suggest $8K-$15K/year for 10-25 users and an MAU model that bills only for active users.
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.
