| Activation | First activation requires internet; afterward the license is cached locally and can work offline, while cloud AI generation still needs network access. | Scaler 3 requires an internet connection for first activation but does not require an ongoing online connection. |
| DAW compatibility | It is an instrument plugin for AU/VST3 hosts, with listed support including Ableton Live, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Cubase, Reaper, Studio One, and Bitwig. | The maker lists Ableton Live, Pro Tools, Logic Pro, FL Studio, Cubase, Studio One, Bitwig, Reaper, and Reason among supported DAWs. |
| Privacy | The maker describes Aether as local-first; API keys use the OS secure store, and prompts and keys stay on the user's machine except when sent to the selected provider. | The privacy policy says Scaler Music takes reasonable steps to comply with Australia’s Privacy Act and Australian Privacy Principles, and with the GDPR where applicable. |
| Purpose | Aether turns plain-language prompts into editable MIDI layers inside a DAW. | Scaler 3 is a music composition workstation for exploring harmony, composing, and learning music theory. |
