Recycle 2019 - worth it?
or is it something you can do on your own in Reason 11?

it's 2013 software that is a slight overhaul of 1994 software.
Let's face it, you've got to really really love making REX loops to get some use out of it.
Having said that, some people really do.
I own it, I don't think I've found a use for it in a while but then again I'm not everyone.
If you're serious about making sample packs the REX format still peeks some interest but if you're an occasional user the vast majority of Recycles advantages are covered in Reason. It's not hugely expensive compared to some REs and you might be the sort of person who likes to stock up your arsenal for every eventuality. Unless you're really into processing samples without loading up Reason you might be disappointed with how basic this tool is. BPM is 'calculated' not analyzed and it's easy to cock it up with the wrong settings. I'd score it 'meh' out of 5 in 2019.

I'd be all over that $5 upgrade if it analized BPM and key.

It's just me, but I found it cumbersome and unnecessary. Reason is also cumbersome in that respect. The thingy mention here looks promising but I wonder if it suffers the same drag/drop issues that Serato sample experiences. Of course that isn't really a thing with Recycle and Reason either.

I think it is fair to say it is over-priced and obsolete at this point, unless you need to make a big Rex loop library. The $99 price tag signals to me RS is out of touch with the market, unfortunately.
If you just want to tempo adjust drum loops you can do it for free in Loopcloud and in sync inside Reason as well as key adjust if you use synth loops.

For me the only reason I use it instead of the built-in slicing in Reason is the sensitivity slider.
The slicer in Reason is not great on loops that are less than clean which, let's face it, are exactly the sort of loops you want to slice up. In ReCycle you can increase the sensitivity to get "too many" slice points then delete the ones you don't need. It's still the quickest way for many loops.
