WeTransfer Pricing 2026
Free vs Starter vs Ultimate

Pro and Premium are gone — and the plans that replaced them cap you at 10 transfers a month, expire links in 3 days, and don't include teammates. Here's the full picture, and what occasional senders pay when they skip the subscription entirely.

WeTransfer's current plans and limits

WeTransfer overhauled its plans in late 2024: Pro, Premium and several others were retired, the free plan gained hard caps, and two individual plans remain — Starter and Ultimate, both strictly single-user. Prices below are USD, at time of writing.

WeTransfer

Free

$0

Individual, non-commercial use only

  • × 10 transfers or 3GB total per rolling 30 days
  • × Transfers expire after 3 days max
  • × Ads on download pages
  • Password protection included
  • No account needed to receive
WeTransfer

Starter

$8 /mo

$7/mo billed yearly · single user

  • 300GB volume per rolling 30 days
  • × Still capped at 10 transfers per 30 days
  • × Still 3-day max expiry
  • × Still shows ads · no custom branding
  • Password protection, encryption, 2FA
WeTransfer

Ultimate

$23 /mo

$19/mo billed yearly (~$228/yr) · single user

  • Unlimited transfers, up to 1TB each
  • Unlimited expiry + recover expired transfers
  • Custom branding & your own page
  • × $228/yr whether you send or not
  • × Teams need Teams plan: $19/user/mo, 2-seat min

Where's Pro? Retired in the late-2024 overhaul along with Premium — its features were folded into Ultimate. Teams ($19/user/mo, minimum 2 users) and Enterprise (custom, 50+ members) round out the lineup. Account storage defaults to 2TB on every plan.

The fine print that stings

The plan cards gloss over these — so here they are, plainly.

Capped at 10 transfers — even when you pay

Free and Starter both stop at 10 transfers per rolling 30 days. Paying $84/yr doesn't lift the cap — the only way past it is Ultimate at ~$228/yr.

GoodSend: no cap. $1.50 per send, as many as you need.

Links die in 3 days — even on Starter

Transfers expire after 3 days maximum on Free and Starter, and neither can recover an expired transfer. Unlimited expiry is Ultimate-only.

GoodSend: 7-day links, then files are securely deleted.

No teammates on any individual plan

Free, Starter and Ultimate are strictly single-user. Adding even one colleague means the Teams plan — $19/user/mo with a 2-user minimum, from about $400/yr.

GoodSign: unlimited team members, free on every account.

A rolling window, not a monthly reset

Your 10 transfers don't refresh on the 1st — they unlock one at a time as old sends age past 30 days. Run out mid-project and you're waiting, not sending.

GoodSend: credits never expire — use them at your pace.

Ads — even on the paid Starter plan

Starter download pages still show advertising wallpapers. Your clients see ads on a service you're paying for; ad-free is Ultimate-only.

GoodSend: no ads, ever — on any send.

The free plan bans business use

WeTransfer Free is for individual, non-commercial use only — sending client work on it is outside the terms.

GoodSend: built for business from the first send.

The catch

Why the subscription math rarely works for occasional senders

Paying doesn't remove the caps
Starter costs $84–96 a year and still limits you to 10 transfers per 30 days, 3-day expiry and ad-covered download pages. The only way out of the caps is Ultimate at ~$228/yr.
Quiet months still bill
Send nothing in March, pay full price in March. Subscriptions charge for capacity, not usage — and long-time subscribers on review sites report renewal prices climbing steeply year on year since the 2024 acquisition.
Pay-per-use exists
GoodSend charges $1.50 per send — up to 20 files and 10GB per transfer, encrypted, tracked, with one-time download links. No subscription, and credits never expire.

The alternative

GoodSend: file transfer priced like you actually use it

Built for business senders who need files delivered securely a few times a month — not another subscription to babysit.

One-time download links

Each link works exactly once, then deactivates — a forwarded link is useless. Every transfer is 256-bit encrypted in transit and at rest.

WeTransfer: anyone with the link can download it — and forward it.

Delivery confirmation on every send

Know the moment your files are downloaded, with tracking included on every transfer. No more "did you get it?" emails.

Included on every send — no tier, no add-on.

7-day links

Links last 7 days — more than double WeTransfer's 3-day maximum on Free and Starter — then files are permanently deleted.

WeTransfer: 3-day expiry unless you pay ~$228/yr.

Unlimited team members — free

Your whole team can send from one account. No per-seat fees, no user limits — everyone gets a login.

WeTransfer: single-user plans; teams start at ~$400/yr.

20 files, 10GB per send

Individual files up to 1GB, 10GB per transfer. Recipients download in the browser — no account, no app.

WeTransfer Free: 3GB is the entire monthly allowance.

Credits never expire

Buy a small pack and use it at your pace. $0 in any month you send nothing — and no ads, ever.

WeTransfer: the subscription bills every month, used or not.

Do the math

What would your sending actually cost per year?

/month
Pay per use

GoodSend

$/mo

$1.50 × sends a month. $0 in months you skip.

WeTransfer Starter

$7/mo

Billed yearly — but 3-day expiry, ads, and a 10-transfer monthly cap.

Not an option — sends/month is over Starter's 10-transfer cap.

WeTransfer Ultimate

$19/mo

$228/yr, billed yearly

Uncapped — and the fair choice for daily senders.

At transfers a month, pay-per-use wins: you'd keep $ over a year versus Ultimate. At transfers a month, Ultimate's flat rate is the better deal — honestly. Pay-per-use makes sense below about 13 sends a month.

WeTransfer pricing and limits as published July 2026 (USD, at time of writing): free-plan and Starter caps apply per rolling 30-day window; Ultimate transfers up to 1TB each. GoodSend figures at $1.50 per credit — the same credits also cover secure file transfer and GoodSign document signing. We've made our best effort to research current pricing; it's possible we've missed something or got something wrong.

Fair's fair

When WeTransfer is genuinely the better choice

You send constantly
Past roughly 13 transfers a month, Ultimate's flat $228/yr beats pay-per-use. Daily senders should take the subscription.
You move huge single files
Ultimate handles transfers up to 1TB each. GoodSend tops out at 10GB per send — plenty for documents and media folders, not for raw video archives.
You want a branded portal
Ultimate's custom WeTransfer page lets anyone send you files on a branded page. If that's central to your workflow, it's a real feature.

For everyone else — the freelancer sending client files weekly, the firm delivering contracts and records, the team that sends in bursts — paying per send is simply cheaper, and every send is encrypted and tracked.

Questions

WeTransfer pricing FAQ

Current plans (USD, at time of writing): Free at $0 with 10 transfers or 3GB total per rolling 30-day window; Starter at $8/month or $7/month billed yearly; Ultimate at $23/month or $19/month billed yearly (about $228/year); Teams at $19/user/month with a 2-user minimum; Enterprise at custom pricing for 50+ members.

Yes, with tight limits: up to 10 transfers or 3GB total in any rolling 30-day window, a 3-day maximum expiry, ads on download pages, and individual non-commercial use only. Senders need a free account; recipients don't.

Pro (and Premium) were retired in WeTransfer's late-2024 plan overhaul and folded into Ultimate, now $23/month or $19/month billed yearly. The new entry paid plan, Starter, costs $8/month — but keeps the same 10-transfer monthly cap and 3-day expiry as the free plan.

Starter lifts the volume allowance to 300GB per rolling 30-day window but still caps you at 10 transfers in that window, still expires transfers after 3 days, still shows ads, and is single-user with no custom branding.

$23/month, or $19/month billed yearly (~$228/year). It removes the caps: unlimited transfers up to 1TB each, unlimited expiry, expired-transfer recovery, custom branding and your own WeTransfer page. Still single-user — teams pay $19/user/month on the Teams plan.

If you send fewer than about 13 transfers a month, pay-per-use wins: GoodSend is $1.50 per send — up to 20 files and 10GB per transfer with one-time download links, delivery tracking, 256-bit encryption and 7-day expiry — and credits never expire. Heavy daily senders are better off on Ultimate's flat rate.

Stop renting file transfer by the month

Send up to 20 files and 10GB per transfer — encrypted, tracked, one-time download links — for $1.50 a send. No subscription, no caps, no ads.

No credit card to sign up. Credits never expire — and the same credits cover document signing too.
