How this list works
- 01We read the deal pages of a few retailers and makers every morning and pick out the plug-in deals.
- 02Each deal is then opened on its own page. It shows here only if the deal price is on that page, and it goes when the price does, when the deal ends, or when the shop stops listing it.
- 03Prices are in the shop's currency and can differ by country and with VAT. The shop's checkout price is the one that counts.
- 04No affiliate links, no paid placements. We make AURORA and COLONY, which is why they're at the top.

When is Black Friday 2026?
Black Friday is on Friday, 27 November 2026, and Cyber Monday on 30 November. Many plug-in shops start their sales weeks earlier and some run into December. This list follows them every day until 3 December.
Are the prices up to date?
Every deal is opened on its own shop page every morning, and it only stays on the list if the deal price is still there. The date of the last check is next to each price. The price at the shop's checkout is the one that counts.
Why are some prices in dollars and others in euros?
Each price is shown in the currency the shop listed it in when we checked. Many shops switch currency and add VAT depending on your country, so the price you see there can differ a little.
Do you earn money from these links?
No. There are no affiliate links and no paid placements. We count how many people go to a shop from here, once per visitor and day, only to rank the hottest deals.
How does “Worth it” work?
Tap the note on a deal you'd recommend. Each device has one vote per plug-in, and tapping it again takes the vote back. Votes and visits to the shop together decide the “Hottest” order, recent ones counting most.
Is there a free alternative?
For EQ and colour, yes: AURORA is a free dynamic parametric EQ and COLONY a free multi-effect, both by us, for Windows, macOS and Linux, free all year rather than only on Black Friday.
