How this site works

pluginEQ is a directory. Every row on it comes from a page a vendor or store published, and the page is linked beside the row.

Prices

Prices are read from store and vendor pages once a day. History starts Oct 22, 2026, so “lowest” means the lowest price seen since then, not over a year. Each price shows its currency. When a vendor's page shows only euros, the price stays in euros and is listed in its own group; it is never converted or sorted against dollar prices.

Official licence or inspired by

Official licence means the vendor's or store's page says the plug-in is licensed or authorised by the hardware's maker. Inspired by means the page names the unit as the model but makes no licensing claim. Not stated means the page names the unit without saying either. The label links to the page it came from.

Free alternatives

A plug-in is listed as free only when its own page offers it at no cost. It is listed under a unit only when its page names that unit.

Fonts

Archivo and Michroma, both under the SIL Open Font License, served from this site.
