| Purpose | gretl is a cross-platform software package for econometric analysis, written in C. | IBM describes SPSS Statistics as a statistical analysis platform for extracting insights from data using statistical testing, predictive modeling, regression, forecasting, data preparation and automated analysis. |
gretl suits students, researchers and analysts seeking a free desktop environment for econometric modeling and time-series work. It may be a less suitable choice for users who need the broader statistical-method coverage attributed to GNU R.
It suits students, faculty, academic institutions, and organizations that need statistical analysis, modeling, or forecasting. Its desktop platform support and licensing restrictions are worth checking before choosing a plan.
