Most reviewers were unhappy with their experience overall. Many people expressed significant dissatisfaction with the pricing structure, noting substantial increases in subscription costs, which they found to be excessively high and unaffordable. Customers frequently mentioned that prices had doubled or even quadrupled, making the service no longer cost-effective, especially for infrequent use.

A few people found it extremely useful for their professional needs, appreciating its simplicity and effectiveness. Despite this, some users reported issues with the website and user experience, including difficulties with the subscription process, unexpected charges after trials, and problems with file transfers.

I've enjoyed using their service for 2 years, but the pricing is crazy: November 2023: £54 November 2024: £108 This year's "offer" : £210. Inflation from 2023 would suggest I should be paying arou... See more

After all the years I've been using WeTransfer, as soon as I am coerced into paying for the service... the transfer runs into trouble. I am still waiting for the transfer to get past 77%. Rubbish.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

I used to pay for WeTransfer Pro like 120.00 a year and then WeTransfer doubled the price to 250.00 a year, which is super insanely high and I just could not afford the price. This is why I had to ca... See more

It's been good untill their pricing changed. An e-mail which apparently was sent out asking users to opt out 9 months ago, our bills went from £20 monthly to £181 monthly, and now they're trying to... See more

What is going on at WETRANSFER

What is going on at WETRANSFER? They have just put me on a new subscription and taken over 1,750k out of my account. In any other industry this would be CRIMINAL! They are suppose to be refunding me but I've not seen any money yet. This is very bad. They are a company who prides themselves on working with Artists, whilst they are literally robbing them. I've enjoyed using the paid account for years. Now it's over!

Just simple and excellent

Wow! I came on here to give a review and surprised to see it has such a low overall rating. I've been using it for a couple of years now. Ideal for sending large documents between myself and suppliers in the Far East, documents that are too large for e-mail. I'm technically challenged but find it so easy to use. it's never let me down or failed to deliver. I'm also often sent artwork and images from suppliers and never had one not arrive. I find it marvellous. Very happy with it and to think you don't have to pay either. I'm very grateful for it.

Wetransfer nightmare

Wetransfer changed their plan & pricing. We got a plan with more than double the cost. Our usage would easily be a smller plan. After contact with customer support I could reduce the plan. The button for this was greyed out. So they advised me to cancel as we were still before the subscription renew date. After cancelling I got 50% to reapply. Now the full fee is being debited. And already 8 email further with their support, but with no reply on my question. Only verification, replies on questons i did not ask for, can't open your files. I have the feeling to be stuck in some AI loop

cancellation offer not honoured.

Cancelled my account because of the A.I. fiasco and the price increase. Got an offer for half off at renewal date to stay, which I accepted, which my account reflected correctly until the renewal date, then today they charged my card for the full amount and any trace of the offer is gone in my account.

This actually is one of the tricks they played with me they wrote unlimited everything and in the FAQ they mentioned the 2TB limitation of storage which I saw after the subscription. Pls beware of this

Greedy - goodbye WFT-ransfer!

Was a subscriber for years afeter using the free version for ages and the extra benefits for a fair price - was happy to do so. Price hikes and restructure are a cash grab only. Lots of better free alternatives out there so they have done me a favour and lost me and my money forever. RIP WT.
