€2.99 per month
or €24.99 a year Saves 30%
Everything on the left, and your own devices remember each other: a name to tap instead of a code to scan.
Prices are shown in euro here. At checkout, Paddle shows the price in your own currency where it supports one, and applies the sales tax or VAT of your country — so the exact amount you pay can differ from the figures above. What you will be charged is always shown before you confirm. See cancellation and refunds.
Side by side
Everything else on this table is identical, because the free version is not held back to make the paid one look better. Poftim+ changes how a connection starts between devices you own. Nothing else.

This describes the free service as it works today. It is not a promise that it will never change — but any change is published here and on the terms page before it takes effect.
What you are paying for
Without Poftim+, every transfer starts the same way: one device shows a QR code, the other scans it. That is the right design for sending something to a friend, and a chore when it is your own laptop, four times a day.
Poftim+ lets two devices remember each other after one ordinary QR connection. From then on, your devices appear in a list and one tap opens the connection. Nothing else about the transfer changes: same encryption, same direct route, same speed.
How a connection starts between devices you own — a name in a list instead of a code on a screen, for up to five of them.
Speed, size and privacy. Transfers are not faster or larger, and the encryption is identical — there is no weaker tier to upgrade away from.
The person you send to does not need Poftim+. If you save a friend as a device, they can answer your connection on the free version — one subscription covers the pairing for both sides.
It also does not store your files. Nothing does. Poftim has no cloud storage on any plan, so a subscription buys convenience between your own devices, not capacity or retention. If that is not worth a few euro to you, the free version is not crippled and is not going to nag you.
Billing
Paddle. They are the merchant of record for every Poftim+ subscription, which means the sale is made by Paddle, the receipt comes from Paddle, and they handle sales tax and VAT in your country. Your card details are given to Paddle and are never seen by Poftim.
Your subscription stops renewing and you keep Poftim+ until the end of the period you have already paid for. Nothing stops on the day you cancel. Cancelling does not by itself refund the period you are in — that is a separate request, explained on the cancellation and refunds page.
Yes, as long as the cancellation has not taken effect yet. Until the end of your paid period there is a Keep Poftim+ button on your account page that removes the pending cancellation and lets the subscription carry on as before.
They keep working as ordinary free Poftim devices. You lose the saved-device list and one-tap reconnecting, not the ability to send files. Pair by QR code as before.
No, and deliberately. The free version is the trial: it does the thing the product is for, without a countdown. Poftim+ is worth buying only once scanning a code between your own devices has started to annoy you.
Only for Poftim+. The free transfer page has no account, no sign-in and no device list — it never asks who you are. An account exists solely to hold a subscription and the list of devices it covers.
