Short answer: Rapidgator, for most people. It is cheaper ($0.27 a day against $0.55), has wider link coverage, and its traffic model forgives heavy weekends. Keep2Share PRO wins only if you download steadily every day, or if the files you want are only there — which, in practice, is what usually decides it.

| Cost per day (annual) | $0.27 | $0.55 |
| Traffic model | Pool across the whole term | 50 GB per day, resets nightly |

Prices verified 21 September 2026 and reviewed monthly. Keep2Share figures are for Premium PRO (50 GB/day), which is the tier most resellers mean when they say “premium” without qualifying it.
Price: Rapidgator, comfortably
Keep2Share PRO costs roughly double Rapidgator on every equivalent term. Over a year that is $201 against $99 — a $102 difference for two subscriptions that deliver the same practical thing: full speed, no captcha, parallel downloads, download-manager support.
There is no feature on the Keep2Share side that explains the gap. You are paying for coverage, not capability.
Traffic: it depends how you download
This is the genuinely interesting difference, and the headline numbers mislead. Keep2Share PRO can technically deliver more traffic over a year — 50 GB a day for 365 days is about 18 TB, against Rapidgator’s 12 TB. But that only holds if you download every single day.
Miss a day on Keep2Share and that 50 GB is gone. Rapidgator’s pool sits there until you use it.
So the question is not which number is bigger, it is which shape matches you:
- You download in bursts — a new archive set appears, you grab 300 GB over a weekend, then nothing for two weeks. Rapidgator. Keep2Share would spread that weekend across six days.
- You download steadily — 30 to 50 GB most days, consistently. Keep2Share PRO. You would actually use the daily allowance, and 18 TB a year beats 12 TB.
- You download a few hundred GB a month, irregularly — Rapidgator, and it is not close. The pool model exists for exactly this.
Coverage: usually the real decider
Everything above is somewhat academic, because you rarely choose where a file is hosted. Whoever uploaded it chose for you.
Rapidgator has the broader reach of the two — it has been running since 2010 and a very large share of public archive links still point at it. Keep2Share has a substantial and partly distinct catalogue, and a good deal of material appears there and nowhere else.
Which is why a lot of people who download seriously end up holding both. If that is you, the sensible split is an annual Rapidgator plan as the everyday subscription, and Keep2Share bought monthly only when you hit something that needs it.
Tiers: one place Keep2Share can catch you out
Rapidgator sells a single premium product, sliced by length and traffic. What you see is what you get.
Keep2Share sells three tiers — Premium at 10 GB a day, PRO at 50 GB, MAX at 100 GB — and this is where buyers get caught. A lot of pages selling Keep2Share keys say simply “premium” without naming the tier, and the gap between the cheapest and dearest is a factor of ten on traffic. Several pages we checked in September 2026 still describe a two-tier structure that no longer exists.
If you buy Keep2Share from anyone, check the tier and the daily allowance before paying. If the page does not state both, that tells you something.
Is there a lifetime plan on either?
No. Neither host sells one. Rapidgator’s longest term is 365 days; Keep2Share’s is the same. Anywhere advertising a lifetime plan for either is out of date or selling something other than what it claims.
Verdict
Buy Rapidgator if you are choosing one. Half the price, wider coverage, and a traffic model that suits how most people actually download. The 365-day plan at $0.27 a day is the version to buy.
Buy Keep2Share PRO if you download steadily every day and will genuinely use 50 GB daily, or if the material you want lives there. Buy it annually — the monthly plan at $0.90 a day is poor value even by this market’s standards.
Buy neither if your files are on 1Fichier, which costs $0.12 a day with no cap at all. We compared the whole market in cheapest filehost premium in 2026.

Frequently asked questions
Which is cheaper, Rapidgator or Keep2Share?
Rapidgator, by roughly half. $99 against $201 for a year, or $0.27 a day against $0.55.
Which gives more download traffic?
Keep2Share PRO on paper — about 18 TB a year against Rapidgator’s 12 TB — but only if you download every single day. Unused Keep2Share traffic is lost at midnight, while Rapidgator’s allowance carries across the whole term.
Which is faster?
Both remove the throttle entirely, so in practice your own connection is the limit on either. Speed is not a meaningful differentiator between them.
Can I use one instead of the other?
Not really. You download from whichever host the file was uploaded to, so the choice is usually made for you. Many heavy downloaders keep both.
Which Keep2Share tier should I compare against Rapidgator?
PRO, at 50 GB a day. It is the mainstream tier and what most resellers mean by “premium”. The base Premium tier is 10 GB a day and MAX is 100 GB.
Does either have a lifetime plan?
No. Both top out at 365 days.
Can I pay for either with PayPal?
Through an authorised reseller, yes — along with card, USDT and Bitcoin. Both hosts have restrictive checkouts of their own.
If I can only afford one, which?
Rapidgator, unless you already know the files you want are on Keep2Share. Cheaper, wider coverage, more forgiving traffic model.
