Ferry sends any file to any device — and the person receiving it needs nothing installed. Share a link or show a QR code; they open it in any web browser and the file is right there. WHY FERRY • No app for the receiver — the link opens in any web browser, on any device • Big files — 4 GB per send free, 20 GB on Ferry Plus, streamed so it never chokes; over nearby Wi-Fi there is no size limit at all • Original quality — files land bit-for-bit identical, never compressed or transcoded • End-to-end encrypted — the relay never sees your files; received files stay encrypted in Ferry, unlocked with Face ID • Works with everyone — any phone, tablet or computer with a web browser • No ads, no account, no tracking FERRY DIRECT (for people who both have Ferry) • Pair a device once — tap the two together (Bump) or scan a QR code • Then send with a tap; they approve, and the file arrives encrypted • Send in the background, save for later (it downloads on Wi-Fi), or schedule a send for later — nobody has to wait around Whoever is receiving just taps a link. Nothing to install, nothing to sign up for. SUBSCRIPTIONS Ferry Plus — $4.99/month or $39.99/year. Sending and no-app receiving are free forever, with no ads and no account. The free plan covers transfers up to 4 GB, links that stay live for 24 hours, and 10 GB a month through the cloud relay; transfers to a nearby device over Wi-Fi are never metered. Ferry Plus raises the transfer ceiling to 20 GB, extends links to a full week, raises the monthly relay allowance to 200 GB, and adds background and scheduled sending, save-for-later, and pause/resume. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically for the same price and period unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in your Apple ID settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is device support: SyncFlow at 4 against Ferry's 2. SyncFlow also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
