MAXQDA Standard is the ideal choice for researchers who focus primarily on qualitative data analysis. It includes the full range of coding tools, memo functions, visual tools and teamwork features. If your work centres on interview analysis, document coding, or thematic analysis, MAXQDA Standard has everything you need.
MAXQDA Analytics Pro includes all features of the Standard edition plus powerful tools for mixed methods and quantitative text analysis:
Choose Standard if you work mainly with qualitative data (interviews, focus groups, documents, images, audio/video) and need a comprehensive coding and analysis environment.
Choose Analytics Pro if you combine qualitative and quantitative approaches, need dictionary-based text analysis (MAXDictio), or want built-in statistical tools without switching to a separate stats package.
Add AI Assist if you want AI-powered coding assistance, automatic summaries, and built-in transcription for audio and video files.
Add TeamCloud if your team needs to collaborate on the same project in real time.
MAXQDA subscriptions are available for 1 year (auto-renewing), 3 years, or 5 years (both upfront, ending automatically). Single-user and network licences are available for all editions.
