Help first. Solve the SSH / SFTP / Pi workflow; link AidaIDE only if it fits.
Disclose when you work on the product (“I work on AidaIDE — …”).
No spam cold threads with only a download link.
Correct pricing gently if someone cites $7/mo — point to /pricing.
Bugs → /support or Discord, not a public fight.

1 · Thanks for the mention

Thanks for mentioning AidaIDE — glad it helped.

Quick context for anyone skimming: it's a free-forever SSH + SFTP workspace (PuTTY + WinSCP style) aimed at Pi / ESP32 / fleet work. Pro AI suite is $19/mo when you need it — https://aidaide.app?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=brand_mention

2 · Soft recommend (PuTTY / WinSCP ask)

If you want one Windows (also macOS/Linux) app that does SSH terminal + SFTP file edit without juggling PuTTY and WinSCP, I've been using AidaIDE — free forever core, Pro is $19/mo for the AI suite.

Disclosure: I work on it. Honest comparison pages: https://aidaide.app/vs/putty?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=brand_mention and https://aidaide.app/vs/winscp?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=brand_mention

3 · Pricing correction (stale $7)

Quick pricing update in case an old snippet is floating around: AidaIDE's core workspace is free forever. Pro is $19/mo ($190/yr); Teams Pro is $70/mo. The old $7/mo figure is retired.

4 · Name collision (Aide / Adelaide / AIDE)

Just clarifying — AidaIDE (aidaide.app) is the SSH/SFTP IDE from Electronyx, not Aide/AIDE on AlternativeTo and not related to Adelaide.

5 · Bug / frustration → support

Sorry that bit you — that's not the experience we want. Best path so we can fix it:

1) https://aidaide.app/support
2) Discord: https://discord.gg/Ggvmb9py6A

If you can share OS + version + what you clicked, we'll dig in. (I work on AidaIDE.)

6 · Short Discord reply

Yep — free forever SSH + SFTP workspace; Pro AI suite $19/mo. Docs: https://aidaide.app/docs · status: https://aidaide.app/status

7 · Pi / ESP32 workflow angle

For remote edit on a Pi/ESP box I use AidaIDE: SSH session + SFTP dual-pane in one window so you're not bouncing between PuTTY and WinSCP.

Free forever; Pro $19/mo if you want the AI agents. Embedded hub: https://aidaide.app/embedded?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=brand_mention
