Im looking for an alternative to Sonox inflator.... really like this plug in (tried it in some studios) but i dont like the idea of getting an ilok just for this plug in.....perhaps theres an alternative worth mentioning.If theres none i guess ill have to buy an ilok+inflator

UAD Precision Maximizer

Waves L1/L2 Ultramaximizer?
I have the L1 and I must say... impressive.

Or maybe this one: SinusWeb PeakCompressor.
It's actually "just" a compressor+limiter and no ultra-louderinflatiorizatifier, it tames the occasional transient to avoid clipping or completely squashes everything, which then makes it possible to raise the overall volume of the track - so it does the same trick, just a lot less voodoo.
Costs 35$, the demo is mono only but has no other limitations or restrictions.
Well worth a look, I still wonder how I could've lived without this one...

believe it or not... Steinberg DaTube is very close to Inflator!

UAD Precision Maximizer.
It generates different overtones to the Inflator (some guy found it out at the UAD forum) and this make a bit the difference about the sound.
I like the UAD Precision Maximizer more (I own the Inflator too).

+ for Voxengo Varisaturartor. As good - different tone, though. More natural "tubish", not the high-end pseudo-tube of Inflator.

I was asking myself the same question today, and was able to get extremely close with one great plugin, which also happens to be free - Camel Audio CamelCrusher! :D

Inflator - Effect and Curve to the max, presented here with a blue line.
CamelCrusher - Filter and Compressor disabled, Tube distortion at 9 o'clock, volume to the max.

Enjoy your free Sonnox Inflator! :tu:
