Pink Jeepney vs SendGB
SendGB keeps a file close. Pink Jeepney is trying to let it leave.

The upload is the easy part. Everyone can build an upload. The product is what the file does after that.
SendGB is the straightforward booth: a few gigabytes free, and a pay-per-send button when the file is ruder than that.
What SendGB is actually for
Paying once, for this file, matches how freelancers actually work.
If the file only needed one trip, a home for it is a strange gift.
About 5 GB free. Smaller files can keep a long link, sometimes quoted up toward 90 days. Bigger files live shorter.
A single larger send can be a few euros instead of a subscription. That is a humane price for a one-time master.
Where it gets awkward
The page is plain. There is no brand, no ritual, no “your client opened it.”
The numbers, side by side
| Pink Jeepney | SendGB | |
|---|---|---|
| Free size | 2 GB | 5 GB |
| Free expiry | 7 days | Longer on small files |
| Account to send | No | No |
| Password | Paid plans | Yes |
| The top end | 250 GB on Business | Pay once for a bigger send |
Read the row you care about and ignore the rest. Most people only have one complaint. Size, or time, or the account.
What I would do
I would stay with SendGB if you send rarely and you would rather pay for the one file than rent a plan.
I would use Pink Jeepney when I want a delivery with a checkout: one link, a sentence on the ticket, a zip if I sent a pile, and a burn switch if one download should be the end. Free is 2 GB for 7 days, three times a month. Past that the plans are $9, $24, and $59.
If you will still want the file in their account next year, you wanted a drive. If you wanted it gone after they took it, you wanted a transfer.
