The lowest price I've found Patchworks for is $79.  I've not done any hard searching for Metaplugin, but it's retail price is $59.00 and possibly can get for less?

Blue Cat Audio Patchworks $79 https://store.dontcrack.com/product_info.php?products_id=1451

Can't seem to find Metaplugin for less than $59.  I've seen forums state it used to be $34, but can't find that

Anyhow, besides the cost.  Which one do you prefer and why?

I only know Metaplugin, and it does what it says on the tin. Good experience with DDMF in general, updates keep coming, responsive support, ugly GUIs.

Now that Patchwork has oversampling, I have stopped using Metaplugin. I like patchwork as I can assign parameters to knobs on the front and all plugin windows stack up how I placed them when I re-open patchwork. Both good though, DDMF have once a year sale round BF I think and good discounts

Yes, DDMF sale is at BF, 40% off in the past. It's the only sale they have.

Does DDMF have a standalone version?
