Which one should you pick?
Pick MASV if
You’re building around production teams. MASV is the pro choice for sending genuinely massive files — terabyte interview rushes, raw camera footage, multi-track stems — without the 50GB cap that strangles WeTransfer. Pay-as-you-go at $0.
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.

What are the trade-offs?
MASV: $0.25/gb compounds fast at scale. WeTransfer: free tier slashed to 3gb per 30 days. Whether either matters depends entirely on what you actually need — neither is a deal-breaker by itself.
Do they support the same platforms?
MASV works on Windows where WeTransfer doesn't. WeTransfer works on iOS, Android where MASV doesn't. If you're on a specific OS or device, that may decide for you.
Can I use MASV and WeTransfer together?
Both are asset sharing tools so most teams pick one. Some workflows do combine them — for example, using MASV for one show or episode type and WeTransfer for another. Worth trying both free tiers before committing.
