Hey all,

I've been into production for over a decade and have lurked many forums on this site but never created an account. I decided to change that, finally join in, and try and be of help if possible on various topics.

One of those topics is Plugin Alliance/Brainworx plugins. There are 180 of them. I've seen countless threads here and on Reddit and across the internet of people asking, what are the best ones to get, what are the must haves? I've always felt like it's been an overwhelming developer to get into, and you have to have 10 tabs open to try and decipher a weighted decision of what to get.

That is why I have put a few days into organizing a Google Sheet, with all 180+ plugins listed, with additional details about them broken out: their rough initial release date, their MSRP, their category and general breakdown of what they do, whether or not they are highly rated with a statistically significant number of reviews (doesn't help with brand new plugins), whether they have TMT inside, mid-side support, if they are modeled after hardware, etc.

I also added in a built in calculator that ties to their MEGA annual bundle, where if you pay for an annual subscription for access to all 180 plugins, they allow you to keep, 3, 6, or 10 plugins with permanent license. So if you check exactly 3, 6, or 10 plugins on the spreadsheet, it will tell you how much money you save compared to MSRP based on the respective annual bundle cost.

Here is the link:

I hope this tool can be useful to anyone else wanting to dip their toes into Plugin Alliance/Brainworx, and navigate the giant sea of available plugins to determine, what's the best of the best.

If anyone has any feedback or more ideas on things to consider adding, I'm open. I think I may still want to add a 'Community Favorites' column to kind of add a heatmap of plugins that have been consistently recommended on forums/threads for years.

Best,
LETT
