Automated Kerning Software.

I am looking for Automated Kerning Software. I am now in the kerning phase of my typeface and I would like to automate the rest of this process as much as possible. I already started kerning quite a few pairs manually and have ~300 pairs (times that by three masters), plus I still have tons more to do. I still have to do the obliques, figures, punctuation, etc., and let’s just say I am starting to feel tired of kerning.
I used Kern-On in the past, and while it is great, I am not the biggest fan of it. It creates a lot of bloat pairs.
What are some great alternatives to Kern-On that I can use?
I did research on some, but I want to hear different opinions.
I am open to free and paid options.
I am using Glyphs App. My typeface has roughly 570 glyphs total. It has Three masters, 9 weights and each weight has a corresponding oblique as its a variable font with a weight and slant axis. Plus, I have already pretty much built out the Kern classes.
