I’ve owned the original version of Perception for ages and have used a lot, especially when mastering. If you have a bunch of IZotope plugs in Ozone, plus maybe Zynaptic Intensity in your chain, being able to level match accurately and quickly is a real eye opener. And dare I say it, it makes you a better engineer. That said, there are cheaper alternatives available, and I am not sold on what I would be getting for the upgrade path at $49.

What alternatives would you recommend?

MCompare may be worth a look, especially when it is on sale.

I thought there was a @ $20 VST mentioned on this thread a few weeks ago, but I can't find it now.

I don’t own any others, like @Brian Lawler says, there was one featured a few weeks ago on here, but I cannot remember what it was! Sorry

I found it!  Gainmatch    It was $19 on sale for $12 (in early March- not on sale now).  Not sure if it has the same ability as this thread product, but certainly cheaper.  I just looked at the Youtube vids for it and it looks very useful.

I don't know guys, what if I find that all the processing I do through my $1,000 chain amounts to bulls**t?

?

[Monomox]

have you guys seen the video for gainmatch? It's quite capable

Just got it, YT15 code still works

?

Well, Gainmatch was an easy sell.  I watched the videos and spent 15 minutes with the demo.  LOTS of options "hidden" in the menus/icons.  Got it direct for $15 thanks the the "YT15" code published on this forum.

GainMatch. Looks like the anti-GAS plugin.
