Black Friday 2025 Software Deals
We're keeping track of all the best Black Friday deals so you don't have to!
25 November 2025
It’s that time of year again when the Black Friday sales hit our Inboxes. Here in Oz we’re not quite what it’s all about, why it happens or who’s responsible, but hey … we’ll take the discounts anyway. Most of the sales have begun already and go through to around early December, however that’s not always guaranteed. Some can be “flash sales” over a much shorter period – we’ll try to give you a heads-up if that’s the case.
Note that unless otherwise stated, prices will be in US Dollars
Check back regularly because we’ll be updating this post almost daily. So, here we go …

Nugen Audio
Website: www.nugenaudio.com
Black Friday and Cyber Monday are just around the corner, even in the UK.
Nugen Audio is having a whinge for Black Friday. Somehow, in the UK they have imported Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales, but not the big, delicious Thanksgiving meal. Who was responsible for this negotiation? Apparently they really cut a raw deal on this one.
Personal food-related gripes aside, this year Nugen Audio is offering 50% off everything from 24 November to 5 December. It’s half price, not half a product.
That means Monofilter is $129 $64, ISLst is $149 $74, Paragon ST is $299 $149 and more. Despite being UK-based, these are Nugen’s promoted prices, so assume they’re US Dollars. Visit the shop to see all the deals…
Oeksound
Website: www.oeksound.com
Oeksound is adopting a minimalist approach to its Black Friday sales announcements, even prefacing it with “tl:dr”. Anyhow, these plugins are on special.
soothe2: 139 € (normally 199 €)
bloom: 139 € (normally 199 €)
spiff: 99 € (normally 149 €)
Additionally, all existing rent-to-own subscriptions can be paid off in one go with a 30% discount applied to the remaining amount in rent-to-own management. The Black Friday sale can’t be connected to monthly rent-to-own payments.
The sale will end on Monday, December 1. Note pricing is EURO
Remember, don’t forget to check back here regularly. We see new deals come through every day, and sometimes they’re from vendors who likewise release extra discounts and blockbuster offers as they count down to the actual Black Friday.
