# WeTransfer vs Casting Networks

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.

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.
