Plugin Criteria
This page explains the criteria used to decide which plugins and developers are included on the site. The focus is on usability, transparency, and tools that work well in real-world music production.
Trial version available
Plugins should offer a trial or demo version so users can test them before buying.
No iLok required
Plugins that require iLok or similar license managers are excluded.
Works offline
Plugins must be usable without a constant internet connection.
No player required
Plugins should run directly in the DAW without requiring a separate player.
Resizable interface
A resizable interface improves usability on modern displays.
