Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Filemail
Send a file of any size, from six dollars
Filemail moves large files without asking either end to install anything, which is the entire job when the person receiving your footage is a client rather than a colleague. Transfers can be tracked, password protected and set to expire, and the free tier handles up to five gigabytes without an account. The paid plans are about how long files live and how large they get. There is no collaboration layer here, and that is deliberate.
Our note
Six dollars is the right price for this problem and most of the alternatives charge more for the same thing wrapped in collaboration features. Check the retention period against your client's habits, because the cheapest plan expiring a link before somebody opens it costs you a re-send and a conversation.
Gumlet
Video hosting priced by bandwidth, with DRM on top
Gumlet is video infrastructure for somebody who wants their own player on their own site rather than a channel on somebody else's. It transcodes, delivers, and will lock a video down with DRM if the content is worth stealing, which is the feature that usually forces a jump to enterprise pricing elsewhere. Image optimisation runs on the same account. The dashboard assumes you know what a bitrate ladder is, and does not apologise for it.
