The WeTransfer Workflow (and Why It Breaks Down)
Upload Mix v1
Send your first mix via WeTransfer.
Get Feedback
Client listens, comments on the whole file, not the moment.
Upload Mix v2
New WeTransfer link. First link expires.
Repeat Forever
Email chains, lost links, download chaos.
Sound familiar? There's a better way.
The Aliada Workflow (One Link, All Versions)
Upload Once
Upload your mix to Aliada and share one link to the track.
Get Timestamped Feedback
Client listens inline, leaves comments at exact timestamps.
Upload New Version
Same link, every version kept. Your team can A/B compare.
Done
Every version kept in one place, under the same link.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Aliada a better WeTransfer alternative for audio?
On WeTransfer's Free and Starter plans, transfers expire after 3 days at most; only Ultimate and higher plans can keep them live. Aliada keeps your files permanently on every plan, and adds waveform playback, version history, and timestamped feedback pinned to your audio.
Does Aliada support the same file sizes as WeTransfer?
No. WeTransfer takes bigger transfers (up to 1 TB on Ultimate), while Aliada supports files up to 2 GB per file on the Studio plan. Unlike WeTransfer's Free and Starter plans, Aliada files never expire and stay in one place your team can reach.
How much does Aliada cost compared to WeTransfer?
Aliada starts free and paid plans begin at $6/month. Unlike WeTransfer, whose comments apply to a whole file, Aliada includes waveform playback and comments pinned to exact timestamps at every paid tier.
