Yan Filiatrault Posted July 27, 2023 Posted July 27, 2023 (edited) I received a 250$ discount code to upgrade from Horizon bundle to Mercury. My upgrade price for a long time is around 400$, and that would bring the upgrade price to 150$. I never got a quote that low over the years. I know Waves WUP and pricing is controversial, but with this price, I would get many plugins missing and upgrade almost everything from them from version 9 to 13 to the current version without the hassle of many installers, so I’ll probably get it. And I’m on Windows so never any problems with OS upgrades over the years. Check your emails for similar offers for those not on Mercury. Edited July 27, 2023 by Yan Filiatrault 6 1

I think I paid around $180 to move from Horizon to Mercury. I don't regret it. Edited July 27, 2023 by husker 5

My upgrade price is $1500, and I own 24 plugins in the collection + Sound Design Suite (40 plugins, many of them in Mercury). Only $1500! What a deal. 7

WUP is currently maxed at $240 per year for everything you own of Waves - but you can get that reduced of course by not renewing every year, you can skip years. And every year several times they offer 25% off WUP so that's the time to renew when doing so. There are usually a few new products added each year that get included in Mercury. Given the amount of tools included with ongoing updates it feels quite fair and the breadth of tools continually keep coming in handy. 5
dubdisciple Posted July 27, 2023 Posted July 27, 2023 ? Waves. My installations broke again. I'm not paying for another thing from them. 4
hsmusic Posted July 27, 2023 Posted July 27, 2023 Try Tony @ Plugin Discounts when Waves are offering their WUP sale. It cost me roughly .85 cents per plugin to update.

If not Tony, try Kolby at everyplugin.com. Both will get you better deals than Waves will give you. And they will honor any Waves coupons you got. 3

One small thing to keep in mind for anyone considering is that with Waves' recent debacle, it's probably no longer safe to say that in the coming years WUP will max at $240 per year and even that you'll be able to WUP if they try another switch to subscription only. It's really hard to trust them with anything after that. 1 1

No thanks Bill Check in with Kolby (or Tony) as mentioned above. If you ask them, they might come back with an attractive price for you to consider. 1
Guest Heath Row Posted July 28, 2023 Posted July 28, 2023 Listen not to the 'Fear Mongers' the 'Waves Haters' if you get a good deal, go for it, you wont regret it. As for WUP, good advice mentioned above, but I want to say that the plugins received this year have been more than worth it, I might go back and count them up, but it has been a good number of plugins, and useful good quality stuff as well.

ArcRex Posted July 28, 2023 Posted July 28, 2023 I jumped on Mercury earlier this year with a simular deal. I am happy with the decision. 1
Yan Filiatrault Posted July 28, 2023 Author Posted July 28, 2023 Finally got my upgrade to Mercury for less than 110$ from Koby instead of 150$ from Waves. 1 1
