EnglishWhat iZotope Joining BorisFX Means for Users
Updated
iZotope's homepage now carries a short announcement: "iZotope is joining BorisFX." The site describes this as "an exciting new chapter, driven by shared DNA," but gives no details on timing, product changes, or licensing. For users, the practical answer is: nothing on the current site indicates any change to products, purchases, or authorizations — the catalog and prices are still listed as before, and the announcement itself is the only public signal. Anyone making a purchase decision should treat it as a watch-and-wait situation and check the official site for follow-up announcements.
What the announcement actually says
The homepage announcement is brief. It frames the move as a new chapter for iZotope and cites "shared DNA" between the two companies as the rationale. It does not name a date, describe a merger structure, or explain what happens to existing products, subscriptions, or licenses.
That is the entire public statement available on the page. Everything beyond it — whether iZotope tools will be rebranded, bundled with BorisFX products, or sold under new terms — is not addressed.
What stays visible on the site right now
The product catalog and pricing on the homepage are unchanged and still active:
| Product | Listed price |
|---|---|
| RX 12 Standard | $399.00 |
| RX 12 Advanced | $1,399.00 |
| Ozone 12 Standard | $219.00 |
| Ozone 12 Advanced | $499.00 |
| Ozone 12 Elements | $55.00 |
| RX 12 Elements | $99.00 |
| Elements Suite 12 | $149.00 |
| Neutron 5 | $299.00 |
| Nectar 4 Advanced | $299.00 |
| Music Production Suite 9 | $799.00 |
| Everything Bundle | $2,999.00 |
The site also links to Subscription Terms, so subscription options exist alongside perpetual licenses. The announcement does not say whether subscription terms will change.
Why the "shared DNA" framing matters
BorisFX is known for visual effects and post-production tools, while iZotope's catalog centers on audio restoration (RX), mastering (Ozone), mixing (Neutron), and vocal production (Nectar). The "shared DNA" line suggests the two companies see overlap in professional post-production workflows — the same kind of customer who finishes picture in one tool and cleans up dialogue in another.
The homepage's own case studies point in that direction: sound teams on Spider-Noir and The Bear used RX for dialogue, rain rigs, and overlapping speech. That is post-production audio work, which sits close to BorisFX's territory. A combined offering could plausibly target that workflow, but the site does not confirm any such plan.
What to do if you are deciding now
- If you need a tool today: the listed products and prices are still live, so buying on current terms is possible. Nothing on the page suggests orders are paused.
- If you are weighing a large purchase (for example, the Everything Bundle at $2,999 or Music Production Suite 9 at $799): the announcement introduces uncertainty about future bundling or licensing. Check the official site for updates before committing to a multi-year plan.
- If you hold existing licenses: the announcement says nothing about authorization changes. Keep your license records and watch for official communication rather than acting on speculation.
- If you are considering a subscription: the Subscription Terms page is the authoritative source; the announcement does not modify it.
What is not yet known
The page does not state:
- Whether product names or branding will change
- Whether existing licenses remain valid under the same terms
- Whether bundles will be restructured or merged with BorisFX offerings
- Any timeline for the transition
Until the site publishes those details, the responsible reading is that the announcement marks a corporate change with no confirmed effect on what users own or buy. The homepage itself is the place to watch — it is where the announcement appeared and where any follow-up is most likely to be posted.
