WinCross review
A detailed Windows analysis tool with a substantial one-time license cost.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
WinCross is desktop survey crosstabulation and statistical analysis software for marketing research analysts who need to prepare and examine survey data on Windows. It imports SPSS, Excel, and CSV files, then supports frequency tables, crosstabs, significance tests, weighting, sample balancing, factor analysis, regression, and outlier calculation. Data can also be edited, cleaned, and recoded within the software, making it suited to analysts who want preparation and tabulation in one desktop workflow.
Its breadth is a practical fit for detailed reporting: significance options include t-tests, z-tests, and ANOVA, while reports can be exported to ASCII, Enhanced Text, Word/RTF, Excel, PowerPoint, and PDF. The stated capacity of up to 6,000 table rows and 500 banner columns points to use with extensive tables. WinCross also lists SPSS, Microsoft Office apps, and OneDrive among its integrations. The Windows-only desktop deployment makes it a poor fit for teams seeking a browser-based or cross-platform workflow.
Pricing is a one-time perpetual license: the Desktop Edition for the first user is $3,595, and each additional user is $2,995. Both include support and upgrades for one year; the vendor also offers a seven-day evaluation, limited to 100 respondents and 25 tables. This is a significant upfront commitment compared with a subscription-style entry point, so WinCross makes most sense when detailed tabulation, statistical options, and export flexibility justify that purchase. Analysts who need Windows desktop work and substantial table capacity should consider it; those seeking lower initial cost or non-Windows access should look elsewhere.
