What it is
Transmit is a macOS file transfer app with support for multiple protocols, file synchronization, scheduled transfers and transfer automation. It allows up to 20 concurrent transfers. There is no free plan, but a 7-day trial is listed. The Mac App Store subscription costs $24.99 a year and includes Transmit, Panic Sync and major updates while subscribed. The Direct purchase plan is listed at $45 a month, while its billing description specifies a one-time purchase with no recurring fees. It includes a full Transmit 5 download and use on all of your Macs when you are the only user. The plan details thus pair a per-month listed term with a one-time billing description. Both listed plans are for macOS. The choice is between a subscription that includes Panic Sync and major updates while subscribed, or a one-time purchase described as having no recurring fees. Transmit is made by Transmit, headquartered in Portland, Oregon, United States.
