I am looking for a loudness meter (LUFs, Peak, RMS) with drag & drop functionality. I would like to drag an audio file onto the plugin and get the (average) loudness data.
Comparable to the "statistics" function in Cubase.

Any hints?

How about the IQ-Analyser from Hofa?

Yes, this is the right direction. I tested it long time ago and the drag & drop thing is amazing but I think it doesn't show loudness, only the frequency / energy thing, no?

According to the manual it has Peak, Hold, RMS, LRA and EBU R 128. I really like this analyser since it has also useful snapshot features for comparing.

Yes, but far as I know only for the (more or less) realtime analysis. Only the frequency/energy curve is used for the offline analyisis.
But I will check again.

The Melda LoudnessAnalyzer does quick if basic d&d analysis on wav files, you get true peak, integrated and range.

The free HOFA 4U Meter, Fader, & MS-Pan plug in will provide peak level, true peak, EBU Integral level in LUFS, and EBU LRA(range). Just D&D onto the plug in window. MLoudnessAnalyzer does basically the same thing if you D&D to the "Wav' label, but analysis is to relative scale, e.g. 8.7LU on EBU +9 mode with -23 target vs -14.3LUFS in HOFA. Same reading, just expressed differently.
No RMS on either.
