ToffeeShare vs download.fyi
ToffeeShare works the way download.fyi's free sends do: the file goes straight from your device to theirs, nothing is stored, and the link dies when you close the tab. It's free, with no paid tier. For a live send the two are close; the difference is what happens when you can't stay online.

Where ToffeeShare is better
It's entirely free, with no paid tier at all. It's run from the Netherlands and stores no data.
Its Android app, still in development, keeps sharing after you close the app, as long as the phone is on and online. In a browser, on either service, you have to keep the tab open. There's a Windows app too.
Nearby mode connects devices on the same network with a QR code or a 4-digit code, much like our Nearby.
Where download.fyi is better
When you can't stay online, a pass keeps the file online for 14 days (up to 100 GB, $5) or 30 days (up to 500 GB, $9), paid once. ToffeeShare has no way to leave a file behind.
Short links. A download.fyi link is three words, so it's easy to read out or type on a phone.
Which to pick
Pick ToffeeShare if you only ever send live and like that it's donation-funded, or you want its Windows or Android app. Pick download.fyi if you sometimes need a file to stay up after you've gone.
