TransferNow alternative
A TransferNow alternative that tells you the file arrived
TransferNow is a strong general transfer service. FileFast is for people who need to know what happened after the link went out.
A practical difference
5GB free transfers
A simple free limit for everyday sends without anonymous upload abuse.
Premium for bigger work
Premium supports much larger transfers, more room for active sharing, and longer retention.
Built-in tracking
Understand delivery with transfer stats and email recipient activity.
After the send
Closing the loop
Opened is not downloaded
The record separates the two, because a client who glanced at the page has not got the files. Treating those as the same event is how a job gets closed early.
Named delivery names names
Sending by email gives each recipient their own link, so activity says who rather than that somebody did. A public link cannot, by design.
Free covers the basics
5GB per transfer, ten email recipients, seven days of retention. Enough to test the loop on a real job before deciding.
Delivery confirmed
The silence after sending is the problem
A transfer that has been opened looks different from one that has not, and that difference saves you writing the follow-up email.
Comparison
FileFast vs TransferNow
The free limits are similar, but the workflows differ. TransferNow removes sender verification and already offers receiving and file-drop tools; FileFast keeps a verified workspace and offers a slightly larger individual paid transfer on Plus.
Advantages are marked only where the difference is measurable. A different workflow is not automatically better or worse.

| Sender setup TransferNow advantage | One-time email verification | No registration or validation code required |

| Tracking and workspace FileFast advantage | History and download alerts are included on Free; detailed analytics on Plus | Transfer manager, history and download tracking begin on paid plans |
TransferNow is currently stronger for no-registration quick sends and live receiving. FileFast is stronger for a verified free workspace and offers 300GB on its lower individual paid tier.
