Why does Rys Up GEQ cost 10× less?

Because we're a small team in 2026, not a 200-person plugin company with a Manhattan office and a licensing deal with Solid State Logic. We use AI-assisted development to disassemble, analyze, and re-implement reference DSP at a fraction of the traditional cost — and we pass the savings on. The algorithms are real RBJ cookbook biquads, the C++ is compiled, the audio quality is measurable. Read the full breakdown →

Stop renting your tools.

Rys Up GEQ is $49.99 to own forever. Or subscribe to RysUpSuite from $9.99/mo and get every plugin we ship. Either way, you're never paying an "update plan" to keep the tools you already bought.
