SwissTransfer vs TransferNow

People ask this as if one of them cheated. They didn’t. SwissTransfer and TransferNow grew up answering different complaints.

SwissTransfer

SwissTransfer is Infomaniak’s free booth. No paid tier. The company makes money on other products and leaves this one alone.

The upload is a minute. The afterwards is the product.

Up to 50 GB a transfer. You pick 1, 7, 15, or 30 days. The 30-day option asks you to confirm around day 12 or the files go early. There is a cap on downloads and on how many transfers an IP can open in an hour. No account.

Fifty gigabytes, Switzerland, no account, no ads. For a free send, that is the grown-up offer.

The annoying part: No dashboard, no brand on the page, no one to call when a client says the link looks unfamiliar. The download cap can surprise a producer who forwarded the URL to a whole crew.

TransferNow

TransferNow is the French service that wants both sides: you send, and you can also receive, without turning the other person into a subscriber.

The free transfer is about 5 GB and about a week. They advertise a password without an account.

Receiving files without making the client invent a login is a kinder product decision than most drives make.

The annoying part: Five gigabytes free is ordinary now. The interesting product is the paid one, and then you are comparing prices with everyone else.

Side by side

Which one, then

Open SwissTransfer when you want the largest honest free transfer and you do not need a logo, a password story, or a receipt. Open TransferNow when you need a public “send me the files” link as much as you need to send.

If both have started to feel like a membership, the smaller idea is a transfer that ends. Pink Jeepney’s free ride is 2 GB and 7 days. The paid plans are 25 GB, 100 GB, and 250 GB. That is a third afterwards, not a verdict on the first two.
