I scrape manufacturer websites for all the plugins listed on their website and update the prices daily, so that I know when they are on sale or there are free giveaways. I also compare plugin prices across resellers as well as manufacturer websites.

Let me know what you think.

The e-mail thing put me off.

 

mailinator.com
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

Sonokinetic and VSL included? Wanting to buy them black friday...

 

honestly, a newsletter full of products I don't care about is less useful to me
the previously posted deal site https://musicsoftwaredeals.com/ that lets me specify the deals I'm looking for is more appealing

(not that the products I was tracking have gone on sale yet so who knows if that site works well)

 

only 10,000? its a valiant effort to start, but to complete the project now youll just need to add the other 11,570,341 plugins to the data base

 

Well who dropped the turd in the punchbowl.

 

Hey there, which product price alerts have you setup so far? Feel free to drop us an email and we'll take a look!

 

why the newsletter sub-link? website itself indeed shows audio plugin deals/prices already

https://audiobazooka.com/



edit:
I think the concept is really cool, search works, history graphs would deserve more specific date labels (for ex. to see if a deal happens once a year, or randomly etc..), and I'd be very careful about some suggested sites to buy from

blog area with specific plugin type deals is also useful, good work, keep up!

seems so, try search on the page
for ex.:
https://audiobazooka.com/products/sonokinetic-exclusive-bundle/
https://audiobazooka.com/products/viennasymphoniclibrary-/

 

in fact it's uglier and less functional than this new stuff,
try search new SWAM Strings Section for ex. as here https://audiobazooka.com/products/audiomodeling-swam-string-sections/

 

that's such a good resource, kudos to the guy behind it (he made a post here a while ago)

 

Do you know of another way to receive a newsletter?

 

I have subscribed to the paper newsletter.

 

I just updated the algorithm that shows the best current deals: https://audiobazooka.com/deals/

I think it's far better now. The changes include:
- More boosting depending on how much lower than the previous all time low the current price is
- A tiny bit of additional boosting for plugins based on the absolute $ amount reduction from the "normal price" (I have my own formula for what I consider the normal price, it depends on how often it goes on sale and for how long etc). Previously it just took into account the % reduction from the "normal price".
- Updated logic to surface new free plugins even if they have no price history

 

Hey,

Am I missing something or are the tags not clickable?
Would really like to be able to browse 'all time low', 'new deal', 'free' etc

Thanks.

 

Yes, they are not clickable. I agree that they should be clickable though. Would also be great to have some tags like "Compressor", "Synth" etc that are clickable.

 

nice!
I checked it's fairly up-to-date, already being able to search for ex. Fabfilter Pro-R 2 which just released,
that said, I wonder if you could improve Vendors to include dev/publisher site if plugin can be purchased there directly? some plugins show up that way, some (like that Fabfilter) doesn't...

 

Yes, I'll do that eventually. The code is already made in a way so that its pretty easy to add new sites to scrape from and also robust against changes when the manufacturer website changes some details.

The goal is to scrape 500 manufacturer websites and all major resellers.

 

There is now an option to filter for free plugins on https://audiobazooka.com/, so you can see a list of hundreds of free plugins.

Would be great to categorize them in the future .
