MASV Alternative
Love MASV's simplicity. Hate the $0.25 per GB.
MASV bills you for every gigabyte — on every download. ATLAS is one flat $14.99/month for transfers up to 1TB, billed once, no matter how many times your client hits download.
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. 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 15GB free without entering payment details or a pre-authorization hold.
Proof of delivery
Know exactly when your client downloaded, with a receipt — same as you'd expect from MASV.
Your files stay yours
AES-256 encrypted, and never used to train AI or analyzed for content.
Controls on every transfer
Passwords, expiry windows, and download caps come standard — 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 ATLAS is not — we don't hold those certifications. 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 ATLAS so much cheaper for large files?
MASV charges $0.25/GB on egress, so 1TB runs about $250 and is billed again on each download. ATLAS is a flat $14.99/month for transfers up to 1TB, billed once.
Does 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 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; ATLAS focuses on predictable pricing for everyday large-file delivery.

No. You can send up to 15GB per transfer free with no card and no pre-authorization hold.
