What Transmit is

Transmit is a macOS file transfer app with multi-protocol support, file synchronization, scheduled transfers, and transfer automation. It supports up to 20 concurrent transfers. There is no free plan, but a 7-day trial is listed. The Mac App Store subscription costs $24.99 a year and includes Transmit, Panic Sync, and major updates while subscribed. A separate Direct purchase plan is listed at $45 a month, while its billing description says it is a one-time purchase with no recurring fees. That option includes a full Transmit 5 download and use on all of your Macs when you are the only user. The plan details therefore list a monthly term alongside a one-time billing description. Both options are for macOS. The app is made by Transmit, headquartered in Portland, Oregon, United States.

Who it suits

Transmit suits macOS users who need file transfers with synchronization, scheduling, or automation. Its listed plans offer a choice between a subscription with Panic Sync and major updates while subscribed, and a one-time purchase for an individual using multiple Macs.
