Our verdict on MedCalc

MedCalc is desktop statistical software for biomedical research, clinical statistics, and method comparison. It combines an integrated spreadsheet with more than 220 statistical tests, procedures, and graphs. Its strongest fit is clinical and diagnostic work involving regression, ROC curve analysis, survival analysis, meta-analysis, and sample-size calculations. The software also supports missing-data handling, subgroup selection, scripting, and publication-oriented graph export.

Pricing offers several licensing paths. The single-user subscription costs $179 per user per year and includes free software updates during the subscription period. A single-user perpetual license costs $549 per user, with no monthly or annual subscription fees and free software updates. Teams can choose a network license at $348 per license per year for concurrent users and network-server use. A site license costs $2,199 per site per year and covers unlimited computers within one geographical organizational unit. A 15-day free trial is available, while VAT or sales tax is excluded from the listed prices.

The feature set is broad without losing its clinical emphasis. Users can import Excel, OpenDocument, SPSS, DBase, Lotus, SYLK, DIF, CSV, and text files; automate procedures and graphs with scripts; and export graphs to SVG, PNG, JPG, TIF, and PowerPoint. MedCalc runs natively on Windows and can run on macOS or Linux through compatibility tools, which matters for mixed-device environments. Choose it for established clinical and diagnostic workflows that need extensive statistical procedures and flexible licensing. A different product may suit teams seeking a free plan or native installers across all three operating systems.
