I am sure it is a fine tool but that seems a bit pricey. Darktable grain module gives a fair amount of control over grain including built in profiles based on ISO. I also occasionally use the grain tool in Lightroom but it does not allow as much control. I have been experimenting with darktable but am on the fence about commuting to the switch and cancelling my Adobe subscription.

Can you post a screenshot of the Darktable grain tool? Is it content-aware?

I don’t think it is “content aware” but it has several adjustments. Darktable is free to download and try for yourself so it would be pointless to post examples (plus I am currently on my mobile device and they don’t support darktable. I am not saying that it is the best tool for the job but the price is right at “free.” The interface for darktable isn’t as smooth as some of the paid solutions and it has a pretty steep learning curve. I would recommend watching Bruce Williams https://www.youtube.com/user/audio2u on YouTube. He has a complete series of videos that explain it well.
