On the basic metrics alone, the score was 68.4 and the rank 3. The score is now 34.2 and rank 6 (▼ 3 places). The difference comes from buying motives: they measure what the buyer asks before deciding.
Steinberg Cubase näyttää hinnat euroina suomalaisen ALV:n kanssa selkeämmin kuin kukaan muu listalla, Elements €99,99 / Artist €329 / Pro €579. Cubase on alan pitkäaikaisin DAW (per. 1984). Heikkoudet: ilmainen kokeilu saatavilla vain rajoitetulle Elements-versiolle eikä Pro:lle, ja Linux-tuki puuttuu.
Buying motives were checked on 14.10.2026 and basic metrics measured on 4.9.2026 from public sources. The same formula for everyone, read the full methodology.
