Run regressions, time-series and panel analysis with a GUI or scripts.
What you can use it for
Run regressions, time-series and panel analysis with a GUI or scripts.
- GUI and hansl scripting for standard econometric analysis.
- Time-series, panel data and Stata data-file support.
Workflow coverage and comparison notes
Replace Stata for standard regressions, time-series and panel analysis. Does not promise .do/ado compatibility, every estimator or identical numerical results.
Before you switch
Stata .do scripts and ado packages are not directly compatible. Advanced estimators, exact numerical results and specialist datasets require separate checking. This is a standard econometrics recommendation, not every Stata method. Needs your own computer; no paid API or analysis quota.
Alternatives to these paid apps
Each comparison covers the workflow described above, rather than every paid feature.
