What Youlean Loudness Meter is

Youlean Loudness Meter measures perceived audio loudness to help prepare audio for television or streaming release. It reports LUFS loudness, loudness range, dynamic range and true peak, with real-time and offline file analysis. Film, TV and gaming presets include standards such as ITU-R BS.1770-4 and EBU R128; streaming presets are part of PRO. It runs on Windows 7 or newer and macOS 10.13 or newer as a standalone app, or as VST2, VST3, AUv2 and AAX plugins. The maker lists FL Studio, Logic Pro X, Final Cut Pro X, Ableton Live, Reaper, Cubase and Pro Tools as supported hosts. The free plan includes up to six channels and can be used commercially. PRO adds streaming presets, a dynamics graph, custom presets, exports and a command-line tool. Plugin analysis does not change loudness, though the download page separately describes file or drag-and-drop normalization. PRO is listed at $4,939, paid once.
