Speaking of Splice, the subscription sample service “Splice Sounds” is famous. But that’s not all.
Splice also has “Splice Plugins“, which sells various plugins and DAW.
The biggest advantage of using Splice Plugins is that it introduces a monthly fee, so you can use the plugin you want to use even from a small amount.
Splice Plugins pays a fixed monthly fee for each plugin a fixed number of times. And when you pay it off, it becomes yours.
It is also possible to quit the payment on the way. In that case it will not be yours.
In this article, I am going to explain the advantages and disadvantages of Splice Plugins, how to register free trial and how to buy. Please read the details below;
1. What is “Splice Plugins” ?
Splice Plugins is a Rent-to-Own service that allows you to use expensive plugins and DAWs for a small monthly fee.
Pay every month. After a certain number of payments, the plugin becomes yours.
However, there is no obligation to pay in full.
Once you start paying your monthly fee, you can use the plugin and stop it anytime.
There is also a free trial, and you can try quality plugins for 3 days.
It is also possible to pay at once from the middle.

2. Advantages
- Recommended for students who can not afford a large amount of money
- You can stop paying at any time
- It is also possible to pay in full from the middle
- There is a free trial
(1)Recommended for students who can not afford a large amount of money
Monthly system is useful when you can’t pay a lot of money.
You can use the plugin for about $ 10 to $ 20 a month.
For example, the popular synthesizer “SERUM” costs $ 9.99 / 19 months.
“Studio One Professional” costs $ 16.99 / 24 months.
I think it is a very nice service especially for students who do not have a lot of money.
(2)You can stop paying at any time
After paying for the number of months specified by each plugin, the plugin becomes yours.
However, you can always stop paying if you don’t need this plugin or if you run out of money.
It is very good to be able to judge whether you need it or not while using it for a long time.
(3)It is also possible to pay in full from the middle
“I can’t pay this month, but I can pay it next month.”
Splice Plugins can handle such cases.
Basically, it is a monthly fee, but it is also possible to pay in batches from the middle and finish the payment, and purchase the plug-in officially.
(4)There is a free trial
There is also a 3-day free trial.
Please note that you must cancel your monthly payment within 3 days.
3. Disadvantages that you should know before purchasing
However, there are some things you need to know before purchasing with the Splice plugins. That is, it is better to purchase with a single payment at the time of discount.
If it is possible to pay all at once, it is better to buy it during the discount period, such as Black Friday.
