Which one should you pick?
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.
Pick Ziflow if
You’re building around compliance-heavy approvals. Ziflow is the heavyweight enterprise creative review platform with pricing starting around $199-$249/month and unlimited proofs and reviewers built in. Best for marketing teams with dozens of stakeholders signing off on every asset; expensive for solo creators or three-person podcasts.
