Download Element

Element is a free, open-source modular audio plugin host — VST, VST3, AU, LV2, and CLAP on Mac, Windows, and Linux. It's built and maintained by a small team funded almost entirely by the people who use it. If you rely on Element, backing it is what keeps the builds, bug fixes, and new format support coming.

Supporter

Back it once.
Get every 1.x update.

$ 59

one time

Updates for all version 1.x.x builds from the stable and nightly channels, for a single payment — no recurring charge. Best if you'd rather pay once than subscribe.

Purchase

Most Sustainable - Recommended

Membership

Back Element continuously. Cancel anytime.

$ 5

per month

Full access to stable and nightly builds, every update as it ships. Recurring support is what keeps development steady — the option that helps the project most.

Public

Fully functional. No expiration. A version or two behind.

$ 0

free

The real Element — nothing's locked and it never expires. It just trails the supporter and nightly channels by a version or two, so if it earns a place in your setup, that's when backing it makes sense.

Download

It's the same software in every tier. The download is identical — paying doesn't unlock features, it decides how soon you get updates and whether development can keep going. We'd rather be straight about that than pretend the free build is hobbled.
