Paid plans start at $7/mo. There's also a free plan.
WeTransfer starts at $7 per month on annual billing for Starter; the listed monthly rate is $10. Free is limited to 10 transfers or 3 GB in a rolling 30-day period, and transfers expire after up to three days. Ultimate costs $19 per month annually or $25 month to month, with transfers up to 1 TB. Teams has a two-user minimum, so compare the per-user price with your seat count before switching.

02What the plan grid doesn't tell you
Annual price is lower
Starter’s $7 rate is listed with annual billing; its monthly rate is $10. Compare like-for-like before treating $7 as a month-to-month price.
Teams needs two seats
Teams requires at least two users. At the listed per-user rates, that is at least $38/month at the annual rate or $50/month at the monthly rate.
Free is non-commercial
Free is for individual, non-commercial use. Its 3 GB limit applies across a rolling 30-day period, not to each transfer.
Some costs are unpublished
Enterprise pricing is not published. Teams storage can be extended up to 30 TB on request, but the added storage price is not published.
03Which plan should you buy?
| If you are… | Get | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Solo users sending larger files | Ultimate | It includes unlimited transfers, up to 1 TB per transfer, and custom expiry; the listed price is $19/month annually or $25 monthly. |
| Teams needing shared controls | Teams | It adds shared workspaces, team brand controls and centralized billing, but requires at least two users. |
| Occasional non-commercial users | Free | It costs nothing, but caps use at 10 transfers or 3 GB per rolling 30 days and transfers expire after up to three days. |
04Is WeTransfer worth the money?
WeTransfer’s value is straightforward: recipients can download from a link without an account, and paid plans raise transfer limits and add expiry or team controls. The trade-off is Free’s rolling cap, short expiry and non-commercial restriction; Teams also starts at two seats. At $7/month annually, Starter is not the right comparison if you need 1 TB transfers or team controls. We’d compare file size, transfer frequency and seat count before switching.
WeTransfer pricing FAQ
Is Smash file transfer safe?
This pricing check does not include Smash’s security documentation, so we can’t verify its protections. For WeTransfer, listed features include password-protected links; end-to-end encryption is listed for Enterprise. Those features do not establish a blanket security guarantee.
What are some alternatives to WeTransfer?
We don’t have verified pricing or feature details for competing services in this comparison, so we won’t name a best alternative. Compare services on transfer-size limits, rolling usage caps, expiry, recipient account requirements and the price for the number of users you need.
How can I transfer a 20 GB file for free?
WeTransfer Free does not fit a 20 GB transfer: it allows up to 3 GB per transfer and 3 GB total across a rolling 30-day period. Its listed paid Ultimate plan supports transfers up to 1 TB, but it is not free.
Why are people stopping using WeTransfer?
The pricing information does not explain why users leave. It does show possible friction points: Free is limited to 3 GB per rolling 30 days, transfers expire after up to three days, and commercial use requires a paid plan. Teams also has a two-user minimum.
