Review summary

Looking at 4,055 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently praise the massive catalog of software, highly competitive pricing, and incredible deals available across various established and up-and-coming audio plugin brands. Consumers also deeply enjoy the rewarding loyalty program, smooth website navigation, and the exciting bonus free plugins included with many purchases.

Beware of "Free" Label

I was specifically searching for free plugins, and they have a large selection of useful ones. The thing that bothered me a lot though is that they didn't list whether something was actually free, or just a free trial. I went to download a bundle from them containing "free" plugins from Universal Audio, only to find out that they were in fact only available as a free trial. I wish they had been labeled differently on the plugin boutique website, as I would not have installed them in that case.

Hi there,

Thank you for your feedback!

I can see that you added the free UAD Explore Bundle to your account. I can confirm this is not a trial product; it's a free bundle made up of 9 full licence pieces of software.

Please feel free to reach out to us directly here: https://help.pluginboutique.com/hc/en-us/requests/new - and one of the Customer Care team will be more than happy to assist you in getting your software registered.

Kind regards,

I was unable to download the Roland D50 plugin. I have requested assistance, but have heard nothing. I also tried contacting Roland, but have heard nothing from them. This should not be that difficult. I have been doing this for 30 years and have never had this level of difficulty. Some assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

BFD at a Big Friggin Drop in price!

I got a great program, BFD 3.5, for an awesome price. Though some research suggests BFD might be getting an upgrade or newer version soon, and that's why it had a low price. If that's true or not doesn't change I got a good deal on the current price. Downloading was tricky as I missed instruction on my first look after purchase. Once l realized that, it was smooth sailing.
