Which one should you pick?
Pick Send Anywhere if
You’re building around peer-to-peer transfers. Send Anywhere does peer-to-peer file transfer using a six-digit code, no account, no upload to a server in the middle. The free tier handles up to 10GB, and it's surprisingly fast for direct device-to-device sends.
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.
