I was looking for a separate meter for gauging the loudness of a track. I found this by pure chance.
 
It's free alas that doesn't mean it's bad.  
 
Sorry I never saved the download link but it should be easy to find.

It's been posted many times, and it does the job

That one is useful and FREE (I love it!), as well as Nugen Audio's Master-Check for Mastering to online destinations, coupled with Meterplugs' Dynameter. I would also recommend checking out Nugen Audio's ISL 2st to handle the final Limiting for any bit-reduction conversion 'overs'/clipping, and finally Flux StereoTool v3 (free) for phase-management and metering.

Yeah I found it let me gauge the limiter in real-time rather just relying on K-Metering and hoping the attenuation wasn't affecting to the dynamics too much. In the end, after a touch of "tape compression" and bus compression before the harmonic maximiser and limiter it really helped me keep things in check without wondering.
 
I was pushing the volume for an EDM mix however trying not to kill too much dynamics with have very little headroom which seems to be the trend these days. I acquired a few reference tools. Waves NX which simulates stereo over headphones (if you were in a treated room). Not quite got the hang of that yet but it helped a bit.
 
For phase and correlation checks, frequency analysis I use VSL Suite plug-ins. These are also VST3 so are good on resources. Thanks the info about the other plug-ins.

i really like the radar type , you have an overview of the whole track that speaks to me more ....don't know why /.//
