Faster transfers, no login required, and no monthly commitment. Here's how FileFlap compares to Filemail.
Tested with a 2GB file on 120 Mbps upload / 250 Mbps download
Filemail requires you to log in even to send a free transfer, and paid plans only offer a 7-day trial rather than a real free tier. FileFlap never asks you to sign up.
Send large files in seconds without creating an account first. Filemail requires login even for its free plan.
FileFlap delivers 3.9x faster uploads and 9.7x faster downloads than Filemail in side-by-side testing.
Filemail's paid tiers only come with a 7-day trial, not a real free plan. FileFlap charges per transfer with no recurring commitment.
