    Download Free Analytica


      We hate spam as much as you. We won't share your email with third parties.

      The free edition of Analytica includes these key Analytica features:
      • intuitive visual modeling with influence diagrams
      • the convenience and power of Intelligent Arrays
      • managing risk and uncertainty with fast Monte Carlo
      • sharing models on the web with the Analytica Cloud Platform (ACP)
      Free Analytica has no time limit. The only constraint is it won’t let you create more than 100 variables or other objects. But your model can be quite substantial since each variable can be a multidimensional array. It also lets you explore, change inputs, and run existing models of any size (excluding features unique to the Enterprise or Optimizer editions).
      • You will need a computer using Windows OS to run Free Analytica.
