Mise

WeTransfer vs Mise

WeTransfer delivers the files. Mise delivers them when they're paid for.

Send a transfer link and the delivery is finished — the client has the files, and the invoice becomes a separate errand, paid on trust. Mise keeps the two in one place: the client watches previews in their portal, and the final files unlock the moment the invoice clears.

What the client can download before paying

WeTransfer

The full files, through the download link — no account needed to receive them.

Mise

Previews only. The final files stay locked in the vault.

When final files change hands

WeTransfer

As soon as the link is sent — delivery is the first step, payment a later one.

Mise

When the invoice clears. Delivery and payment are the same event.

What you hold if the client never pays

WeTransfer

Nothing — the finished files are already delivered.

Mise

The final files. The client keeps the previews, and nothing more moves.

What it is built for

WeTransfer

Moving files — send and share with anyone via email or a download link.

Mise

The studio's client portal — the project, its invoices, and the locked vault in one place.

What it costs

WeTransfer

A free tier (up to 3 GB a month, 10 transfers), with paid plans from $10 a month.

Mise

From $29 a month, and 3% when a client pays an invoice.

Nothing here knocks a good transfer tool doing its job. The difference is timing: a link hands over the leverage with the files; the vault hands it over when the money lands.
