Demand

Nobody has asked for one yet.

What a free alternative needs

The capabilities that keep people paying for GraphPad Prism.

  1. Guided analyses for lab data

    Wizards for t-tests, ANOVA, survival and dose-response work that explain each choice.

  2. Nonlinear regression with a model library

    Built-in curve models, model comparison and parameter constraints without writing code.

  3. Graphs linked to data tables

    Journal-style graphs that update automatically when data or analyses change.

  4. One project file for data, results and graphs

Why it is hard

Prism's PZFX project format is proprietary, and its guided-analysis defaults are what reviewers and lab groups already expect to see.
