No credit card to start, no egress fees, and unlimited downloads included. Here's how FileFlap compares to MASV.
Tested with a 2GB file on 120 Mbps upload / 250 Mbps download
MASV charges $0.25/GB every time someone downloads your file — on top of upload costs. FileFlap includes unlimited downloads at no extra charge.
MASV requires a credit card even for their free tier — just to verify. FileFlap never asks for one. Upload 10GB free with zero friction.
With MASV, every download costs $0.25/GB. Share a 10GB file with 10 people and you're billed $25 just in downloads. FileFlap doesn't charge for downloads.
MASV warns users that ZIP uploads risk file corruption. FileFlap handles ZIP files without caveats — your archives arrive intact.
Watch out for egress fees
MASV charges $0.25/GB each time a file is downloaded — they call this an "egress fee." If you upload a 50GB project and your client downloads it twice, that's $25 in download fees alone, on top of what you paid to upload. FileFlap charges once (over 10GB), at upload time, and downloads are always free.
