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
The full files, through the download link — no account needed to receive them.
Previews only. The final files stay locked in the vault.
When final files change hands
As soon as the link is sent — delivery is the first step, payment a later one.
When the invoice clears. Delivery and payment are the same event.
What you hold if the client never pays
Nothing — the finished files are already delivered.
The final files. The client keeps the previews, and nothing more moves.
What it is built for
Moving files — send and share with anyone via email or a download link.
The studio's client portal — the project, its invoices, and the locked vault in one place.
What it costs
A free tier (up to 3 GB a month, 10 transfers), with paid plans from $10 a month.
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.
