Which one is for you
Pick Tresorit if

- Watch out: shown prices are for yearly billing, and Business needs 3 users, Business Pro 5

- Works for people who do not want to register
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you want storage, as it is a sending tool

How we grade them
| 2.4GPATresoritFair | 3.0GPATresorit SendVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | DThe $4.75 entry plan is ordinary money for this category, middle $5, but it buys 50 GB and 2 devices, where $1.99 buys 100 GB elsewhere.

| Free plan and trial | CBasic is free and encrypted like the paid plans, but it's 3 GB, no file over 500 MB and sync across 2 devices only.

| Features | CThe storage basics with end-to-end encryption, plus Tresorit Drive, encrypted links and Gmail and Outlook plug-ins. The listing's own rationing is the catch: 2 GB file size and 5 versions on Personal Lite, 2 devices, and file requests, access logs and data residency only on the dearer plans. | COne job: send an encrypted link, with optional password and a Chrome extension. It does that fully, but it is a smaller job than storage. |
| Ease of use | BNo store rating on record, but nothing to set up: Tresorit Drive puts the files in Explorer or Finder without filling the disk, and the Gmail and Outlook plug-ins encrypt attachments where you already write email. | BNo store rating on record. No sign-up and nothing to set up. |
| Platforms and integrations | AWeb, Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone and Android, the full set, and it joins up with Gmail and Outlook for attachments, and Azure AD, Okta and Active Directory for business sign-in. | CWeb and a Chrome extension only. No apps or integrations. |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
