MASV Alternative
Love MASV's simplicity. Hate the $0.25 per GB.
MASV meters every gigabyte that leaves their cloud, so one upload delivered four times is billed four times. Send Atlas is one flat $14.99/month for transfers up to 1TB, billed once, no matter how many times your client hits download. See the full MASV pricing breakdown →
The problem with paying by the gigabyte
MASV is fast and genuinely good at moving huge files. But its pay-as-you-go model charges $0.25 per GB on egress — meaning you're billed every time a file leaves the platform. Send a 100GB package and have it downloaded a few times, and the bill can land far higher than you expected. For anyone who sends regularly, or whose files get downloaded more than once, that unpredictability is the catch. Send Atlas replaces it with a flat monthly price and zero per-download charges, so your cost is the same whether a file is downloaded once or fifty times.

Predictable, the way billing should be
One price, no meter
$14.99/month covers transfers up to 1TB. No per-GB rate, no egress line item, no end-of-month surprise.
Downloads are free
A file downloaded ten times costs exactly the same as one downloaded once. You're never penalized for a client re-downloading.
Start without a card
Send up to 5 GB with no account, or 15 GB per transfer with a free account. No payment details and no pre-authorization hold.
Proof of delivery Pro
Know exactly when your client downloaded, with a receipt — same as you'd expect from MASV.
Your files stay yours
AES-256 encrypted, never used to train AI or analyzed for content, and downloadable only through links you control.
Controls on every transfer
Passwords, expiry windows, and download caps come standard on every plan — not as add-ons.
When MASV is still the right call
We'll be honest about where MASV wins. If you move many terabytes every month, need maximum raw speed across continents, or handle pre-release studio content that requires TPN, SOC 2, or ISO certification, MASV is built for that and Send Atlas is not — we don't hold those certifications. Send Atlas is for creators, freelancers, and small studios who send large files regularly and want a flat, predictable bill instead of a per-gigabyte meter. If your monthly volume is in the gigabytes-to-low-terabytes range and you're tired of watching the counter, the free account takes about a minute.
MASV alternative FAQ
Why is Send Atlas so much cheaper for large files?
MASV charges an egress fee of $0.25/GB, so 1 TB runs about $246 on pay-as-you-go, or $215/month on their 1 TB subscription. Either way it is metered again on each delivery, and MASV counts deliveries to cloud integrations the same as downloads to a person. Send Atlas is a flat $14.99/month for transfers up to 1 TB, billed once. Full MASV pricing breakdown →
Does Send Atlas charge me when my client downloads?
No. There are no per-download or per-GB charges. Your monthly price is the same regardless of how many times a file is downloaded.
Is Send Atlas as fast as MASV?
MASV runs a large dedicated acceleration network and is exceptionally fast for huge cross-continent transfers. If absolute peak speed at multi-terabyte scale is your priority, MASV has the edge; Send Atlas focuses on predictable pricing for everyday large-file delivery.
Do I need a credit card to try Send Atlas?
No. You can send up to 5 GB with no account at all, or 15 GB per transfer with a free account — no card and no pre-authorization hold either way.
