Where these prices come from
Plugins aren’t in the Thomann catalogue, so the AudioFu Index — demand on Reverb, lineup and price history at Thomann — doesn’t rate them. They’re ranked by how fully the store describes each plugin — the formats and systems it runs on and a full description — one maker at a time: every maker’s best entry first, then every maker’s second.
