Universal Audio is offering a hard-to-beat deal for August: three months of UAD Spark for just 99¢.
UAD Spark is UA’s native plugin subscription service, bundling over 60 high-end plugins and instruments modeled after classic studio gear. Typically priced at $60 for three months, this offer gives you full access for under a dollar.
At this price, I’m pretty sure that UAD Spark is a perfect entry point for anyone curious about the UAD ecosystem.
UAD Spark covers a lot of ground when it comes to mixing and mastering. I also use their reverbs for my cinematic sound design work.
You get access to iconic compressors like the LA-2A and 1176, reverbs like the Lexicon 224, classic EQs, and channel strips modeled after famous consoles. There are also more modern additions like the A-Type Multiband Dynamic Enhancer and the Anthem Analog Synth.
It’s also worth noting that UAD Spark runs natively on both macOS and Windows, with no UA hardware required. This opens the door for producers (myself included) who previously couldn’t access the UAD hardware ecosystem due to gear constraints.
This limited-time offer is the perfect opportunity if you’re on the fence about UAD plugins or just want to experiment with legendary plugins for the cost of a… Hmm, I’m not even sure what costs less than a dollar these days.
Even if you cancel after the trial, you’ll have three months to dig into one of the most respected plugin suites in the industry.
The deal runs from August 1st through August 31st, 2025. You can sign up directly through Universal Audio and get started immediately.
If you’ve ever wanted to test-drive the gear used on countless hit records, this might be the best 99¢ you spend all month.
UAD Spark is compatible with macOS and Windows and supports all major plugin formats, including VST3, AU, and AAX.
