Nearly all current DAWs have this ability nowadays, with or without Melodyne but Melodyne can make it easier. For those DAWs without Melodyne Essential, there are ways to obtain it inexpensively bundled with other plug-ins from iZotope and others. There's generally no reason to pay $99 just to get it directly from Celemony.

Dirty little (not so) secret—ok, worst kept secret in the music industry: iZotope has no way of verifying old licenses if you buy upgrades through a reseller. $99 for Nectar 4 Standard Upgrade or $119 for Nectar 4 Advanced Upgrade not only gets you the app but includes a license for Melodyne Essential that you redeem at Celemony. Even better is that, should you want to upgrade to a higher version of Melodyne, you now have that upgrade path, too.

Now that iZotope is part of Native Instruments, I expect this upgrade loophole to close for good but, as of now, it's still open (as it has been for 20 years).
