On the basic metrics alone, the score was 59.9 and the rank 5. The score is now 78.0 and rank 1 (▲ 4 places). The difference comes from buying motives: they measure what the buyer asks before deciding.
REAPER on listan edullisin DAW-vaihtoehto ($60 / ~€55 kertaostona) ja tukee natiivisti Windowsia, macOS:ää ja Linuxia. Heikkous: hinnat ovat vain USD:na eikä eurohinnoittelua näy sivustolla lainkaan, suomalaisen kuluttajan näkökulmasta epäselvä hinnoittelu. Ei mobiilisovellusta.
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.
