How Aliada Compares
We built Aliada because existing tools weren't designed for professional audio workflows. See how we stack up against BoomBox, SoundCloud, and Dropbox.

Why This Matters
General file-sharing tools like Dropbox don't understand audio. Streaming platforms like SoundCloud compress your files. Even audio-focused tools like BoomBox lack version control. Aliada was built from the ground up for how audio professionals actually work.

The Aliada Difference
vs. BoomBox
BoomBox is great for sharing, but lacks version control. Every time you update a mix, you need a new link. Aliada keeps all versions in one place with instant A/B comparison.
- Version history for every file
- Higher sample rate support (192 kHz vs 96 kHz)
- Unlimited file sizes
vs. SoundCloud
SoundCloud is built for streaming to fans, not collaboration. It compresses everything to 128 kbps. Aliada keeps your files lossless for professional feedback.
- True lossless playback
- Private by default (not public streaming)
- Team workspaces for projects
vs. Dropbox
Dropbox stores files, but doesn't understand audio. No waveform preview, no inline playback, no timestamped comments. Aliada is purpose-built for audio workflows.
- Integrated audio player with waveforms
- Timestamped, waveform-pinned comments
- Lower price for audio-focused features
Built for Audio Professionals
We're not trying to be everything to everyone. Aliada is laser-focused on one thing: making audio collaboration seamless for professionals.
- Mix engineers & producers
- Mastering studios
- Labels & artist management
