$180/mo for the cheapest published plan
Launch is $180/mo billed monthly, or $150/mo if you prepay $1,800 for the year. Nothing is published below it.

Sized for 100 GiB, not 10
Launch bundles 20 credentials, 100 GiB of storage and 200 GiB of monthly bandwidth. A few clients sending documents use a sliver of it.

Limited Retention Policies
Retention and lifecycle management is limited. It's not a first-class, configurable feature per shared folder.

Developer-Friendly API
REST API available. Good for Heroku/Railway add-on workflows where it's especially easy to connect.

Web Portal & Audit Logs

The Features That Matter
Two things separate Bridglet from SFTP To Go for vendor drop workflows: retention policies and credential scoping.
Retention Policies
SFTP To Go
Limited lifecycle management — not a first-class configurable feature per shared folder. Teams often resort to cron jobs or S3 lifecycle rules as a workaround.
Bridglet
Set retention TTLs per shared folder from the dashboard or API. Files auto-expire on schedule. No external lifecycle rules, no cron jobs — built into the core product.
retention: 30d · auto-delete: enabled
Credential Scoping
SFTP To Go
User credentials can access multiple shared folders by default. Manual configuration is required to restrict each vendor's access to a specific path.
Bridglet
Every credential is scoped to a single shared folder by default. Vendor A's key literally cannot traverse outside their assigned path — enforced at the protocol level, not just policy.

When SFTP To Go is the right buy
Bridglet is cheaper to start. That does not make it the right product for every job, and these four cases are not close.
- arrow_right You need 100 GiB or more of storage, or a bandwidth allowance to match. Bridglet stops at 500 GB on Business, because it is an inbox rather than storage.
- arrow_right Your files have to land in S3 where your own tools read the bucket directly. Bridglet keeps files in Bridglet and hands them back over SFTP, the portal or the REST API.
- arrow_right A partner dictates FTPS, or a firewall team wants a static IP and a custom transfer domain. SFTP To Go lists all three on every plan. Bridglet answers on one shared hostname and speaks SFTP.
- arrow_right HIPAA is written into the work. SFTP To Go carries it on Scale. Bridglet has no BAA to sign and no SOC 2 report to send, and will not pretend otherwise.
Twelve times cheaper to start.
The cheapest SFTP To Go plan is $180 a month for 100 GiB. Bridglet is $15 a month for 10 GB, with unlimited portal guests, built-in retention policies and credential scoping enforced per shared folder. If you need the bigger platform, buy the bigger platform.
