WeTransfer Pro Is Gone: 2026 Pricing, Starter $8 to Ultimate $23

Short answer: WeTransfer Pro is gone. The lineup is Free ($0), Starter ($8/mo), Ultimate ($23/mo) and Teams ($19 per user), and everything below Ultimate is governed by how much you send in a rolling 30-day window rather than by a per-file size cap. If you need more sending volume, pick the tier that matches your pattern. If you need the download link itself to carry your business name, no WeTransfer tier does that — that is what BulkShare and other WeTransfer alternatives built for agencies exist for.

For years the easy question was "is WeTransfer Pro worth paying for?" That question is now stale, and most comparison posts still answer it. WeTransfer retired Pro, Plus, Distribute, Transfer and Collaborate; you cannot choose them any more, and former paid users get moved toward Ultimate at renewal.

So the real decision is sharper: do you need more WeTransfer volume, or a more professional client handoff on your own domain?

WeTransfer prices at a glance

Prices checked in September 2026, in USD.

Plan	Monthly	Billed yearly	Transfers	Link lasts
Free	$0	$0	10 transfers or 3GB every 30 days	Up to 3 days

Teams	$19 per user/mo	about $16.58 per user/mo	Unlimited per member	You choose, or no expiry

Teams needs at least two people, so the real floor is $38/mo. Free is for personal, non-commercial use, and Free and Starter show ads on the download page.

What changed

WeTransfer says its newer subscription lineup is Free, Starter, Ultimate, and Teams. Older plans like Pro, Plus, Distribute, Transfer, and Collaborate are no longer available for users who want to move back to them. Former paid users are pushed toward Ultimate at renewal.

That matters because a lot of older comparison posts still talk like "$12/mo Pro" is the obvious upgrade path. It is not the current buyer frame anymore.

The current WeTransfer plan logic

Plan	What it is for	Main limit
Free	Occasional sending	10 transfers or 3GB every 30 days
Starter	Higher occasional volume	10 transfers or 300GB every 30 days
Ultimate	Individual high-volume sending	Unlimited transfers, up to 1TB each
Teams	Shared workspace and team management	Team-oriented billing and user management

WeTransfer also changed the Free plan in a way that helps casual users: password protection and file requests are now included. But Free and Starter still have rolling 30-day usage limits, and Free/Starter transfers can stay active for up to 3 days. If all you need is for people to send you files, a free file request link does that without a WeTransfer account.

What the Starter plan actually limits

Starter is where most people land when Free runs out, and it is the tier that surprises people most. The limit is 10 transfers or 300GB every 30 days — and the word doing the work is or.

That means the cap that bites first is usually the transfer count, not the size. Send eleven 40MB contracts in a month and you are done, having used well under 1% of the 300GB. A wedding photographer delivering three galleries has no problem. An agency sending a revision to a client twice a week does, because every send burns one of ten.

Worth checking before you upgrade: count how many separate sends you make in a typical month, not how many gigabytes you move. If that number is comfortably under ten, Starter fits. If your work involves going back and forth with the same client, it will not, and Ultimate is the next stop.

Starter also keeps the short link lifetime — transfers stay downloadable for up to 3 days. If a client opens their email on Monday after a Friday delivery, the link may already be dead and you are re-uploading.

Is there a WeTransfer free trial?

Not in the usual sense. WeTransfer does not run a time-limited trial of Starter or Ultimate that expires after a week or two. What it has instead is a permanently free tier, now capped at 10 transfers or 3GB every 30 days, which is the thing most people mean when they search for a trial.

The practical consequence is that you cannot test the paid limits before paying. You can test whether the Free tier is enough for you, and if it is not, the only way to find out whether Starter's 10-transfer ceiling clears your workload is to buy a month and count.

That is a real difference between tools in this category and worth weighing. BulkShare runs the opposite way: a 7-day trial of the full paid product, custom domains and analytics included, so the thing you are evaluating is the thing you would actually be paying for.

What WeTransfer is still great at

One-off sending. WeTransfer remains the fastest default when you need to send a file to someone who does not want another account.

Recipient familiarity. Most clients recognize the brand. For low-stakes sends, that is enough.

Simple transfer UX. You upload, paste an email or copy a link, and move on. There is little workflow overhead. (If a send involves many loose files, it's worth 30 seconds to create a ZIP file online first so the recipient downloads one archive instead of a pile of attachments.)

Where the pricing gets awkward for agencies

If you are an agency, freelancer, photographer, video editor, or studio, the pain usually is not "I need a random transfer link." The pain is: "I want this delivery to look like it came from my business, and I want to know if the client opened it."

That is where WeTransfer's plan structure is less direct. Upgrading solves volume. It does not turn wetransfer.com into files.your-agency.com.

WeTransfer vs BulkShare

Need	WeTransfer	BulkShare
Price	$8/mo Starter, $23/mo Ultimate	$29/mo, or $240/yr
Quick one-off file send	Strong	Works, but not the main wedge
Custom domain links	No. Ultimate adds your logo and background, but links stay on WeTransfer	Pro includes up to 5 custom domains
Password protection	Included on current Free/Starter structure	Included on Pro
Open/download analytics	Transfer-oriented	Built around client handoff tracking
Team plan	Teams	Pro: 5 seats, 5 domains, 1TB

Pick WeTransfer if you mostly send files to strangers, vendors, friends, or one-off recipients and do not care what domain the download link uses.

Pick BulkShare if your client sees the file handoff as part of the service they paid for. Your link, your domain, your brand, your analytics.

The honest verdict

WeTransfer's newer plans are better for casual users than the old comparison suggests. Password protection moving into the lower tiers is a real improvement. The tradeoff is that Free and Starter now revolve around rolling 30-day transfer limits, and the paid decision points moved away from the old "$12 Pro" mental model.

If all you need is more transfer volume, stay in WeTransfer's world and pick the plan that fits your sending pattern.

If your reason for upgrading is professionalism, trust, and proof of delivery, look at branded delivery instead. That is the job BulkShare Pro is built for: files.your-agency.com, password/expiry, and open/download analytics for $29/mo.
