WeTransfer is the household name for sending files. Transfilio is the privacy-first alternative: more generous free storage, end-to-end encryption in your browser, and a written pledge that your files are never used to train AI.
| Transfilio | WeTransfer | |
|---|---|---|
| Free tier | 5GB storage, 2GB per file | 2GB per transfer, expires after 7 days |
| End-to-end encryption | Yes — files encrypted in your browser | No client-side encryption |
| AI and your files | Pledged: never used to train AI | Updated its AI terms in 2025 after public backlash |
| Entry paid plan | £9/month (£7 billed annually) | $13/month Pro |
| File request portals | Included on Pro | Limited on Pro; unlimited costs $23/month |
| Developer API | REST API with keys on every paid plan | Public API discontinued |

Yes, if you care about privacy and cost: Transfilio's free tier includes 5GB of storage versus WeTransfer's 2GB per transfer, paid plans start at £9/month versus $13, and files can be end-to-end encrypted in your browser — something WeTransfer does not offer.
No, and we pledge we never will. Our optional AI features work on file metadata (names and sizes) only, never file contents. See our trust page for the full pledge.
No. Recipients open your share link and download — no signup, on any plan.
Free 5GB tier. End-to-end encrypted. Never trained on your files.
