Update: prices and end dates for these plugin deals were checked again on Plugin Boutique on 13 November 2026. Each deal has its own end date, and the first ones in our top 10 stop on Sunday 22 November. Check the date next to each one before you buy.
What are the best Black Friday plugin deals right now?
Plugin Boutique’s banner already says Black Friday, but there is no single deadline for these plugin deals. Among the featured deals the end dates run from Sunday 22 November to 12 January, so the order you buy in matters more than the discount.
Start with what ends first, then look at the bundles. The ten below are a shortlist for house and techno producers: effects, a synth and bundles that cover a lot of ground for the money. Ratings are Plugin Boutique’s own, where it shows one.
