StatPlus review
Broad statistical procedures in a spreadsheet-friendly desktop package.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
StatPlus is desktop statistical analysis software for Windows and Mac, available as a standalone spreadsheet and an Excel add-in. It suits spreadsheet users in fields such as sociology, finance, biostatistics, economics, insurance, healthcare and clinical research. The software combines descriptive statistics, hypothesis tests, ANOVA, multivariate and nonparametric analysis, regression, time-series procedures, survival analysis, data processing and charting. Users can import supported spreadsheet and text data, select variables for analysis, and produce reports in workbooks or worksheets.
Pricing is license-based rather than subscription-based. The Commercial Package costs $160 for a single license and includes a permanent license with no annual fee. The Student Package costs $60 for a single license and is fully functional, with eligibility restrictions. The Academic/Non-Profit Package costs $100 for a single license and also has eligibility restrictions. A 30-day free trial is available, giving prospective buyers time to assess the workflow before purchasing. The published plans make StatPlus a relatively straightforward fit for individuals and small teams that prefer a one-time desktop purchase.
Its strongest fit is spreadsheet-centered analysis. Microsoft Excel and Apple Numbers are supported, while data import includes text formats, XLS, XLSX and SPSS documents. The procedure range extends from t-tests, z-tests, F-tests, normality and chi-square tests to one-, two- and three-way ANOVA with post-hoc comparisons; principal component, factor, discriminant-function and cluster analysis; several regression types; time-series diagnostics; and Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression. Statistical charts include histograms, scatterplots, box plots and control charts. Organizations needing scripting, Bayesian methods, AI features or web deployment should consider another product, while spreadsheet users seeking broad conventional procedures should find the scope well aligned.
