Why is there only one pricing plan?

Because enterprise file transfer should be simple. One plan, one price, every feature included — no tiers to compare, no add-ons to negotiate, no surprise invoices. You get the full platform from day one: every protocol, every integration, unlimited users, unlimited transfers.

Are there any extra fees or surcharges?

None. The monthly price covers everything: dedicated infrastructure, all 14 protocol adapters, secure data rooms, virus scanning, audit trails, API access, SSO, custom domain, and 24/7 support. No per-user fees, no per-transfer fees, no bandwidth charges, no storage surcharges.

How is my data isolated?

Each customer gets a dedicated Cloudflare D1 database and R2 storage bucket. Your data is never co-mingled with other tenants — fully CIS and DORA compliant.

What compliance standards do you meet?

CIS benchmarks, DORA (Digital Operational Resilience Act), GDPR, and ISO 27001 aligned. Full audit trails on all user actions, encrypted data at rest and in transit.

Protocol comparison

Protocol	Use case	Auth	Receipts	NAT-friendly	xevolve
SFTP	General-purpose file movement, partner exchange, batch jobs	SSH keys, password, MFA at gateway	Logged transfer events, no cryptographic receipt	Yes, single port (22)	Supported
AS2	Regulated B2B and EDI (retail, healthcare claims)	X.509 certificates, S/MIME signing	Signed MDN receipts (non-repudiation)	Yes, runs over HTTPS	Not supported by design ¹
FTPS	Legacy partner mandates, mostly being retired	TLS client cert or password	No	Painful, dynamic data-channel ports	Not supported by design ¹
FTP	None. Plaintext protocol from 1985	Plaintext password	No	Painful, plus everything is in the clear	Not supported
HTTPS API	System-to-system, real-time, event-driven	OAuth, API keys, mTLS	HTTP status, optional webhook callbacks	Yes, runs over 443	Supported
AS4	EU regulated B2B (PEPPOL, energy sector)	X.509 certificates, WS-Security	Signed receipts (ebMS 3.0)	Yes, runs over HTTPS	Not supported

¹ xevolve runs SFTP and HTTPS only. If a counterparty mandates AS2 or FTPS, we will help you negotiate them onto SFTP, or pair with a partner gateway. The matrix shows the protocol on its own merits, not the xevolve roadmap.

FAQ

Is SFTP always the right answer?

For most cases, yes. SFTP runs over a single TCP port, supports modern key-based auth, works through firewalls without drama, and every counterparty already speaks it. It is the wrong choice when a regulated EDI partner mandates AS2 with signed receipts, or when two systems you control could just call each other over HTTPS.

Why does xevolve not support AS2 or FTPS?

AS2 carries a heavy spec (S/MIME, MDNs, certificate management) that mostly serves a shrinking set of EDI partners. FTPS uses dynamic data-channel ports that fight every modern firewall. Building both well takes engineering attention we would rather spend on SFTP, HTTPS, and the storage targets people actually use. If a counterparty mandates AS2 or FTPS, we will help you negotiate them onto SFTP, or pair you with a partner gateway.

Should I migrate a long-running FTPS partner to SFTP?

If you have the leverage, yes. FTPS pain shows up later (passive-mode port ranges, NAT traversal, certificate trust chains across two channels, opaque failures during firewall changes). SFTP has one port and one auth model. The migration is usually a key exchange and a path swap, finished in an afternoon per partner.

What about MFT vendors that bundle every protocol?

They exist and they work, at a price. Bundling AS2, FTPS, OFTP, AS4, and HTTPS into one product means the per-seat or per-connection cost reflects all of it, even if you only use SFTP. If your real protocol mix is SFTP plus HTTPS, paying for the full bundle is overspend. If you genuinely need AS2 for EDI, a focused gateway in front of an SFTP-first MFT is usually cheaper than the all-in-one.
