DLVRD vs WeTransfer
DLVRD is better suited to lasting, branded client video galleries, while WeTransfer is better suited to fast, large one-off file transfers and collecting files.

The short answer
DLVRD is better suited to delivering finished client work as a lasting, branded gallery where clients stream, comment and download in one place. WeTransfer is better suited to fast, flexible file transfers, including very large one-off sends, raw footage handoffs and collecting files from clients. Many filmmakers will find the choice comes down to whether the delivery is a handoff or part of the product.
Choose WeTransfer if…
• You mainly need to move large files from A to B quickly, such as raw footage, project files or camera card dumps.
• You want a free option for occasional small sends (up to 10 transfers or 3 GB in a rolling 30-day window).
• You need single transfers up to 1 TB, which WeTransfer Ultimate supports.
• You want a branded upload page on your own WeTransfer subdomain so clients can send files to you.
• Your recipients are already used to WeTransfer links and you want zero setup on their side.
Choose DLVRD if…
• You deliver finished films and want the client to land in a gallery that looks like your studio, with your logo and colors.
• You want video and photos together in one link that clients can come back to, with expiry optional.
• You want timecoded comments directly under the video, without clients creating an account.
• You want to share drafts with downloads disabled or a watermark applied, then release original-quality files for the final.
• You prefer pricing based on storage for your active client galleries, starting with a free plan.

Where WeTransfer is stronger
• Raw transfer capacity. Ultimate allows unlimited transfers of up to 1 TB each, which suits huge one-off sends.
• Familiarity. WeTransfer is widely recognized, so most recipients know what to do with a link.
• Collecting files. The branded WeTransfer page doubles as a portal where clients upload files to you.
• Custom subdomain. Ultimate includes your own WeTransfer subdomain; DLVRD does not offer custom domains.
• Download verification. Tracked downloads in Access Control can require recipients to verify their email, with a notification for each download.
• Teams. WeTransfer offers team plans with pooled storage, shared branding and admin controls.
Where DLVRD is stronger
• Presentation as the product. Deliveries open as a gallery built around your brand, rather than a transfer page.
• Video and photos together. One link holds the film, cut-downs and stills.
• Feedback on the timeline. Comments are timecoded and sit under the media.
• Draft controls. Watermarks and disabled downloads let you share cuts before final approval.
• Lasting deliveries by default. Galleries stay available for clients to revisit, on every plan.

Can you use both?
Yes, and it is a common fit. Use WeTransfer to receive raw footage, logos and project files, or to hand a multi-terabyte archive to a post house. Use DLVRD for the client-facing part: review cuts with comments, then the final branded gallery the client keeps.
FAQs
Does WeTransfer let clients preview video before downloading?
Yes. Transfers include a preview page where recipients can watch videos in the browser.
Do clients need an account on either service?
No. DLVRD clients open the gallery with the link (and password, if set). WeTransfer recipients don't need an account, though they enter a name and email to comment.
Which is better for raw footage handoffs?
WeTransfer is often the simpler choice for one-off raw footage transfers. DLVRD is built for the finished delivery.
If your deliveries are part of what clients pay for, DLVRD's free plan is an easy way to test a branded gallery on a real project.
