Comparison
Smash is cheaper if a 30-day drop is enough
Smash Pro is $10 a month, or $72 a year, excluding VAT, with 1 TB of active storage and no transfer-size cap. Handoff Solo is $19 a month, or $190 a year, with 500 GB and a 100 GB file limit. We are not going to pretend otherwise.
Smash links last up to 30 days. Handoff links can stay up to 365 days, or until you revoke them. Smash already has a branded page and a drop-off link, so this is not "we have collection and they do not." Their help center, checked 15 November 2026, is the source for the price and the 30-day and 1 TB figures. The "$4.80 a month" line on their marketing is the two-year pack ($115.20 over 24 months), not the monthly plan.
Choose Smash if
You need a short drop, a larger active-storage number than Solo, and the lowest list price. Their free tier sends 2 GB, and larger free transfers may wait.
Choose Handoff if
The file has to be available for months, the page should carry your name, and you do not want a bandwidth line on the invoice. Downloads on Handoff are not metered. Studio stores 1.5 TB and allows a 500 GB file, which can matter if a master sits for a long time. Smash Pro's active storage is 1 TB.
We do not have a desktop or mobile app in this version. Smash lists macOS, iOS, and Android. We also do not offer your own domain yet. Smash Pro includes a subdomain.
