FileZilla Client vs Transmit

FileZilla Client is a free FTP solution for file transfers, with support for FTP, FTPS, and SFTP. It is available for Linux, macOS, and Windows. The project presents FileZilla Client separately from FileZilla Server, FileZilla Pro, and RemoteDrive, so those products should not be assumed to be part of the Client. Documentation includes installation instructions for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X, plus tutorials, usage guidance, and help with connection, transfer, and network configuration problems. The Wiki also includes guidance for key-based SFTP authentication. Support resources include a community forum, Wiki, FAQ, support section, and contact page. The project site links to source code, an issue tracker, nightly builds, translations, and version history. FileZilla Pro is a separate product whose overview lists support for cloud services including S3, Google Drive, and OneDrive. No paid price or billing schedule is stated for the Client, and no free-tier limits are stated.

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.
