What both publish

Fact	SendSafely	transfer.sh
Access controls	The platform supports access tracking, geographic viewing information, notifications, revocation, recipient limits, expiration and archival.	Configuration options include HTTP basic authentication and IP allowlists and blocklists.
API access	Yes	Yes
Encryption	Files are encrypted on the sender's device using OpenPGP with AES-256, and a split-key design means SendSafely cannot decrypt their contents.	The README shows client-side GPG encryption and warns that server-side AES256 encryption should only be used on a self-hosted server.
Free plan	Yes	No
