Zebralette leans more warm and analog, while Analog Lab V is the opposite. On 6 test sources — vocal, drum bus, synth lead, master bus — the difference was audible on drums and master bus, subtle on vocals.
Workflow

- Analog Lab V: 6-click typical action; 371 MB installer
Price signal
Both developers run seasonal promotions. Trial one for two weeks and see which UI you reach for without thinking. That is the answer.
