Which one should you pick?
Pick TransferNow if
You’re building around wetransfer alternative. TransferNow lets you send 5GB free with no account, and the paid Premium tier at roughly $10/month bumps that to 250GB. It's a near-direct WeTransfer competitor, slightly cheaper at the entry tier, with similar feel.
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.
