Sending, sharing, syncing and streaming are all ways to reach your own files, and each usually comes with its own plan.
Where the sprawl comes from
Many creative teams run Dropbox, Google Drive, a file delivery service and a cloud-mounted drive just to move files from A to B. Each has its own logins, seats and workflow.
Why cost scales faster than the team
Licences across several tools multiply with headcount, so the bill grows faster than the team does. And at the heart of it you are paying to reach your own files across several platforms.
Count the tools first
Before comparing prices, list what you actually pay for.
- Seats for each tool, and who really uses them
- Storage, and whether it is bundled or billed per terabyte
- File delivery or transfer services, and how they are billed
- Sharing and review tools
- Anything you keep only to move files from one place to another
What one working layer covers
Performm brings connect, find, move, share, stream and automate into one place over the storage you already own. On the Free plan you connect unlimited storage and drives, search (free for launch), sync, and share by link, email or upload link. Flow adds shared drives and unlimited transfers at $20 per user per month, and Teams adds SSO, team projects and audit logging.
Compare with dated numbers
The table below uses each vendor's own published prices as captured, for two scenarios. Read it as category math, not as a claim that plans are identical.
What is and is not like for like
Some plans include storage and some do not. LucidLink Business and Suite Managed bundle it. MASV prices the volume you move, not seats or storage. Strada uses your own drives. Shade Growth includes 0.5 TB per seat and needs a quote beyond that. WeTransfer paid plans are not shown because the pricing page did not render in the crawl.
Keep the storage you have
You do not need a migration project to consolidate tools. Performm connects to your storage where it is, and Teams adds audit logging so you can see who did what.
Run the exercise yourself
Take your user count, your working terabytes and the terabytes you move each month, and compare each option in the calculator. Prices change, so check each vendor's pricing page before you decide.

What it means for you
For the creator
Fewer logins and fewer places to look. One view of your storage, and the tools you already use keep working.
For the CFO
See what fragmentation actually costs: seats, transfer services, sharing tools and duplicate storage add up. Here are dated numbers for two team sizes, with the inputs shown.
For the CEO
One working layer across the business. Keep the infrastructure that works and connect people, locations and creative tools without creating another silo.
Questions and answers

Connecting is free. Flow is $20 per user per month for shared drives and unlimited transfers, and Teams is $40 with SSO, team projects and audit logging.
