When should I use MASV instead of WeTransfer?

When you regularly send files larger than 50GB (raw video footage, scientific datasets, GIS data), when your volume is variable (some months 10GB, others 500GB), or when you work in post-production and need MASV Express's zero-wait delivery for time-sensitive deliverables.

Does MASV have a free tier like WeTransfer?

Sort of. MASV's free tier is 15GB/month credit but requires credit card verification at signup. WeTransfer's free tier doesn't require any account or credit card and allows up to 10 transfers of 3GB each per month with 3-day expiry.

Why is MASV more expensive at scale?

MASV's PAYG model ($0.25/GB) scales linearly with usage. WeTransfer's subscriptions are flat — once you hit Ultimate ($23/mo unlimited), additional transfer volume is free. For agencies with predictable monthly volume, flat-rate subscriptions are kinder; for variable-volume post-production studios, PAYG is fairer.

Can I send files on my own custom domain with WeTransfer or MASV?

WeTransfer doesn't support custom-domain delivery at all. MASV offers custom subdomain branding on Value subscription ($215+/mo) and true custom-domain on Enterprise. For small teams that want branded delivery without enterprise pricing, BulkShare Pro at $29/mo is the most accessible option.

What's the best alternative if I want both flat pricing AND custom branding?

BulkShare. Pro at $29/mo gives flat monthly pricing (like WeTransfer) AND custom-domain delivery (the feature MASV charges $215/mo Value for). Built for recurring branded client deliveries — the gap between WeTransfer (no branding) and MASV (enterprise branding pricing).

WeTransfer vs MASV

Two completely different pricing philosophies. WeTransfer is flat-rate subscription — predictable monthly cost regardless of volume. MASV is pay-as-you-go — $0.25/GB with no monthly minimum. The right answer depends entirely on how much you actually transfer.

The short answer

WeTransfer wins for steady predictable monthly transfer volume and brand recognition. MASV wins for variable, occasionally massive transfers (raw video footage, scientific datasets). For branded recurring agency client deliveries, BulkShare beats both.

Decision guide

When each one wins

Choose WeTransfer

Your transfer volume is predictable and modest (under 50GB/month per user). You value flat monthly billing and universal recipient brand recognition. Your industry isn't video post-production or scientific computing.

Choose MASV

You work in video post, VFX, broadcasting, or scientific computing — places where single transfers regularly exceed 50GB. You value pay-only-what-you-use math and the reliability infrastructure MASV built specifically for massive files.

Pick neither when…

You run a creative agency where the volume of transfers is steady but every link needs to carry your brand. Neither WeTransfer's third-party-branded page nor MASV's portal is the right frame — your client should land on files.youragency.com.

Flat monthly pricing AND custom-domain delivery — without MASV's $215/mo Value tier.

Flat $29/mo Pro covers unlimited deliveries (under 100GB storage) — predictable like WeTransfer, branded like MASV's $215/mo Value tier.
Custom-domain delivery on $29/mo Pro — MASV needs Value ($215+/mo) for branded portals.
Per-link password + expiry built in — neither WeTransfer free nor MASV PAYG includes this.
up to 5 seats included (no per-seat upcharge) — kinder math than WeTransfer Teams ($38/mo for 2 users) or MASV's enterprise.
Built for recurring branded client deliveries — not for occasional ad-hoc transfer (WeTransfer) or massive one-off media exchange (MASV).
