Bridglet vs Sharetru a quote and a twelve month signature, or a price you can read right now
Sharetru sells managed file transfer to organisations with a compliance department: FedRAMP, CMMC, ITAR, HIPAA and SOC 2 Type II are all named on its plan page. Bridglet sells a client file drop that happens to speak SFTP, at a price printed on the site.
If a regulated framework is the reason you are buying, Sharetru wins this comparison on the first page of the questionnaire. The rest of this page is for everyone else. Already on Sharetru? The Sharetru alternative page covers leaving.
Entry plans compared
Sharetru Core
No rate is published. The entry bundle is 10 GB with 10 users, and monthly billing carries a 12-month commitment.
Bridglet Starter
10 GB of space, 5 shared folders, guest portal, webhooks and retention. Month to month.
One of these you can budget from a web page. The other you can budget after a call, and then for a year.
One is sold to a compliance officer
That single fact explains the packaging, the contract and the absent price tag.
Sharetru sells assurance
- The plan page names FedRAMP, CMMC, ITAR, HIPAA, SOC 2 Type II and GLBA, SOX and PCI as covered ground.
- A HIPAA package, sold as an add-on at $100 a month on 2026-09-22, comes with a signed business associate agreement.
- Core lists a dedicated IP address, password controls, two-factor authentication, five custom access groups and three months of log retention. Complete adds single sign-on, SIEM integration and twelve months of logs.
- A single-tenant environment is available on Complete, listed at $1,000 a month on annual prepayment, read 2026-09-22.
Bridglet sells an inbox
- A shared folder per client, credentials scoped to it, and a browser portal at bridglet.com/portal for the senders who will never open an SFTP client.
- The price is on the pricing page, the plan is monthly, and cancelling is a button on the billing page.
- Users are not the meter. Teammates and guests do not change what you pay.
- Bridglet holds no compliance certifications and signs no business associate agreement. If that sentence is a problem, it is the end of the evaluation.

Four reasons to buy Sharetru instead
Bridglet is cheaper and faster to start. None of that helps with the following.
A framework is written into the contract
Defence, federal and aerospace work brings FedRAMP, CMMC and ITAR with it. Sharetru packages for exactly that. Bridglet has no answer to give.
Someone needs to sign a BAA
Protected health information means paperwork, and Sharetru sells a HIPAA package that includes it. Bridglet does not sign business associate agreements, so health data should not land here.
Your security review has a long list
SOC 2 Type II, single sign-on, SIEM forwarding, a dedicated IP, geo-fencing, an isolated environment: Sharetru has a line item for each one. Bridglet has none of them and will not pretend otherwise.
You need FTPS, FTPeS or SCP
Sharetru carries all three next to SFTP. Bridglet speaks SFTP and the browser portal, and nothing else.
Which one to buy
Buy Sharetru if
- arrow_right A regulated framework decides who you are allowed to buy from.
- arrow_right Procurement is comfortable with a quote and a year.
- arrow_right Identity, logging and isolation all have to come from the vendor.
- arrow_right Partners connect over protocols older than SFTP.
Buy Bridglet if
- check_circle Nobody is going to audit this, and the files are ordinary business documents.
- check_circle You want the number before the call, not after it.
- check_circle Signing up for a year to collect client documents feels backwards.
- check_circle Ten users is either too many or not the right unit at all.
What Bridglet costs
Three plans, sized by shared folders and space. The guest portal, webhooks and retention are in all of them.
Starter
$15/mo

- 5 shared folders
- Guest portal, webhooks, retention
Pro
$49/mo
- 100 GB of space

Business
$149/mo

A lifetime round is open while you are reading this. Both lifetime tiers carry the REST API. The terms and what is left are on the lifetime page.
Bookkeeping and accounting
Statements and receipts arriving from clients who will never install anything, collected in the browser instead.
Real estate and title
Documents moving between parties on a closing timetable, with retention that clears each folder afterwards.
