## Pricing

| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Free (individual) | Free | — | — | Your own API keys or local models through Sidecar |

A paid CodeStory provider subscription existed but aide.dev no longer lists a price. The sunset announcement on 2025-02-18 refunded active subscribers and kept the hosted provider running until the end of that month. Price needs a human check against an archived copy of the pricing page.
