In their own words
Transmit
Transmit is a macOS file-transfer application with multi-protocol support, synchronization, scheduled transfers, and transfer automation. It allows up to 20 concurrent transfers. There is no free plan, but a seven-day trial is listed. The Mac App Store subscription costs $24.99 a year and includes Transmit, Panic Sync, and major updates while subscribed. A separate Direct purchase is listed at $45 a month, with billing described as a one-time purchase with no recurring fees. That option includes a full Transmit 5 download and permits use on all of your Macs when you are the only user. The two plans therefore differ in both included services and billing descriptions: one is an annual subscription, while the other is presented as a one-time payment despite its per-month listed term. Transmit is made by Transmit, headquartered in Portland, Oregon, United States.
