The trade-offs

Strengths and Limitations

sonible

Strengths

Analysis step proposes settings, which is a faster start than a flat processor
Perpetual licences rather than a subscription
A free plug-in and a cheaper pure series for one-control decisions
Native Apple Silicon support, in VST, VST3, AU and AAX

Limitations

Priced per plug-in, so a full set adds up and the smart and pure tiers overlap
Mixing and mastering only, not repair of damaged recordings
Desktop plug-ins with no API or browser version

Supertone Clear

Strengths

Real-time, so it works live as well as in post
Perpetual licence rather than a subscription
Three controls, with little to learn

Limitations

Dialogue cleanup only, no editing or mastering
No ongoing free tier, the trial inserts noise every 60 seconds
A plugin, so it needs a DAW or another host
