Youlean Loudness Meter

As the name suggests, this tool measures the loudness of the audio track to make sure that the final audio meets the requirements of platforms like Podigee (-16dB LUFS). Loudness is the volume perceived by humans. A loudness meter is usually found by default in most DAWs, but YouLean breaks down the loudness even more precisely: the short-term value, i.e., how loud the signal is measured over a short period, the integrated value, the most relevant value for us, in which the loudness is measured over a longer period and other parameters like Loudness Range, True Peak, etc. The graphical representation also shows how much the loudness varies during the episode. The YouLean Loudness Meter is available for free, the ProVersion costs 57€.
