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.
Models
Sidecar lists OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Google AI Studio, OpenRouter, Azure, Together, Fireworks, Groq, Ollama, LM Studio and OpenAI compatible endpoints next to the hosted CodeStory provider. The CodeStory provider stopped at the end of February 2025.
