UploadThing alternative: Rapidfile Upload API compared
UploadThing gives TypeScript apps file uploads with presigned URLs and a free 2 GB tier. The Rapidfile Upload API (api.rapidfile.cc) works the same way: your server creates an upload, the browser sends the file straight to storage, and webhooks report the result. It is included with every paid Enzonic plan.
