What SFTPCloud Does Well

  • check_circle

    Multi-Instance Dashboard

    If you're an agency running isolated SFTP servers per client, SFTPCloud's instance-based model (up to 30 on their Agency Pro plan) gives you real visual separation.

  • check_circle

    EU Hosting & GDPR Compliance

    SFTPCloud is a European business with EU-based servers. If your data must stay in-region for compliance, this is a genuine differentiator.

    Bring Your Own Storage

    Higher-tier plans let you connect S3 or other cloud storage backends — useful if you already have a storage layer.

Where Bridglet Wins

  • check_circle

    Price Per GB — 2.5× Cheaper

    At $15/mo for 10GB vs €39/mo for 10GB, Bridglet is dramatically cheaper for the same storage allocation. The savings compound as you scale.

  • check_circle

    Built-in Retention Policies

    Define TTLs, auto-expiry, and cleanup schedules per directory from day one — no scripting, no S3 Lifecycle configuration, no extra cost.

  • check_circle

    Simpler Setup for Vendor Drops

    Create a directory, generate scoped credentials, share them. The whole flow is designed around the "send a file from this vendor" use case — not multi-tenant agency management.
