What producers say about it

Rik Simpson

Grammy award winning producer
(Coldplay, Jay Z, Noel Gallagher, Dave Grohl, Portishead)

"Sonisto has filled a gap in my workflow that previously I wasn’t aware even existed. I bought my first plug-in in 1993 and have been accumulating them ever since, that’s a lot of plug-ins! Sonisto helps me keep track of them and ensures I’m always on the latest version. It’s a fabulous concept and I look forward to joining Rune & his team on this journey."

Yarden "JORDi" Peleg

Award winning producer, writer and mixing engineer
(David Guetta, Martin Garrix, Afrojack, Alec Benjamin and more )

"I have been looking for a service like Sonisto for YEARS! A one stop shop where I can see which one of my thousands of plugins needs updating"

Cutfather

Music Producer
(Katy Perry, Keith Urban, Pink, Robyn, etc.)

"There has been a problem in the music business for years – in fact since we started working with music on computers. Sonisto is about to solve that!"

Questions about Sonisto

Is Sonisto free?

Yes. The Free plan scans one computer once a month and shows update notifications for 10 plugins, with no credit card needed. Basic ($2.99 a month) and Pro ($9.99 a month) add more computers, more scans, update notifications for every plugin and the password vault.

Is Sonisto the same as Sonisto Access Manager?

Yes. Sonisto Access Manager was the earlier name of the Sonisto desktop app. The new app, version 3.0, launched on 9 September 2026 as Sonisto, and its page moved from /access-manager/ to /desktop-app/ on 24 September 2026. It is the same plugin manager for Mac and Windows: download the current version from this site.

Which plugin formats does Sonisto find?

The scan finds 64-bit VST2, VST3, AU and AAX plugins on Mac and Windows, wherever you bought them, and lists them in one library with, depending on the plugin, its maker, version and formats. A scan does not move, remove, reinstall or update any plugin.
