WeTransfer is the simplest way to send (and receive) big files. Whether you’re at your desk or on the go, transfer up to 200 GB in one go. That’s about 2000 videos of your cat. Share photos and videos in their original format, including all the important EXIF metadata that originates from your camera. With WeTransfer, you can check the download status, forward, and delete transfers right from your phone. If you previously sent a transfer from your laptop, you can access the files and link in the app, so you can easily paste it into your favorite messaging app without needing to open your computer. Our Live Activity notifies you when a transfer finishes uploading, so you can multitask or play a quick game while sending huge files. Notifications let you know the minute you receive something so you can preview (or download) your files wherever you are.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: WeTransfer at 63% against Casting Networks's 23%. WeTransfer also leads on ratings volume (78K vs 1.6K) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. WeTransfer sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Casting Networks sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $29.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
WeTransfer holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WeTransfer has 78K ratings behind it against 1.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 63% of WeTransfer's written reviews are positive against 23% of Casting Networks's.
WeTransfer ships an update every 5 days, Casting Networks fortnightly. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
