JMP alternative · Native Mac & Windows

The JMP alternative — native desktop stats, without the enterprise price.

Stop paying $1,390 a seat every year — $8,820 for JMP Pro. Stratum is one-time from $119, so the budget conversation ends and the software stays yours. Everything you reach for day to day is in it, and every number it reports is checked against a named outside tool in a published validation record, so you can show your work rather than vouch for it. Free to try on your own data before you decide.

A best-subsets regression table in Stratum ranking candidate models, with columns for k, R-squared, adjusted R-squared, Mallows' Cp, AIC, BIC and RMSE
Which predictors belong. Candidate models ranked on a stated criterion — Mallows’ Cp judged by how close it sits to p, not by how small it is.
A partial-dependence plot in Stratum showing the fitted effect of carat on predicted price with the other predictors averaged out, beside a panel giving the forest's tree count, features per split and out-of-bag error
What the ensemble learned. The fitted effect of one predictor with the others averaged out — steep to about two carats, where 96% of the stones sit. Out-of-bag R² 0.978, scored on all 53,940 rows without holding any back.
A fitted decision tree with split criteria and leaf statistics
Decision trees on real data. Classification and regression trees with split criteria and depth control — forests and boosting alongside.
Variable importance ranking from the decision tree
Which variables carried the tree. Importance ranked, so a model you can explain rather than only score.
A decision tree pruned with the Prune (CV) toggle
Pruned by cross-validation. One toggle to cut the tree back to the size the data supports, not the size it will happily grow to.

JMP vs Stratum

A subscription doesn't end. A one-time purchase does.

JMP

JMP lists at $1,390 per user per year in its own store, and JMP Pro at $8,820. The bill returns every year you keep using it, and the software stops when the license does.

Yr 1$1,390 Yr 2$1,390 Yr 3$1,390 Yr 4$1,390 Yr 5$1,390

Five years at list price: $6,950 — and no software left if you stop.

Where your JMP analyses live in Stratum — menu path by menu path
JMP · Analyze ▸ Distribution

Summary — mean, SD, quartiles, skewness and kurtosis for every column at once, with histograms and box plots alongside.

JMP · Analyze ▸ Fit Y by X (Oneway)

One-Way ANOVA — SS, df, MS, F and p, with Tukey HSD post-hoc comparisons, Levene's test and confidence intervals.

JMP · Analyze ▸ Fit Y by X (Bivariate)

Scatter — OLS and LOESS fits with confidence bands, and the correlation reported on the legend.

JMP · Analyze ▸ Fit Y by X (Contingency)

Contingency Table — chi-square, expected counts, row / column percentages and a mosaic plot.

JMP · Analyze ▸ Fit Model

Linear Regression — coefficients with CIs, VIF, leverage, Cook's D, best-subsets, R², AIC and BIC — plus Two-Way ANOVA with interaction terms.

JMP · Analyze ▸ Multivariate Methods ▸ Multivariate

Correlation — Pearson, Spearman and Kendall matrices with confidence intervals, p-values and multiple-comparison correction.

JMP · Analyze ▸ Multivariate Methods ▸ Principal Components

Principal Components — loadings and variance explained, with a scree plot and biplot.

JMP · Analyze ▸ Clustering ▸ K Means Cluster

Clustering — K-means and hierarchical, with dendrograms.

JMP · Analyze ▸ Predictive Modeling ▸ Partition

Decision Tree, Random Forest, Boosted Trees — all three in Professional, with feature importance, ROC and prediction columns — where JMP keeps the forest and boosted variants in JMP Pro.

JMP · Analyze ▸ Quality and Process ▸ Control Chart Builder

Control Charts — I-MR, X̄, p, c, CUSUM and EWMA with control limits and all eight Nelson rules.

JMP · Graph ▸ Graph Builder

30+ chart types — histogram, box, violin, density, ECDF, Q-Q, scatter with OLS/LOESS, treemap, mosaic, Pareto and more.

Point-and-click throughout — no JSL to learn, and nothing to re-run when you change a filter.

What you get

Stratum brings descriptive statistics, full inferential testing (t-tests, ANOVA, correlation, contingency, regression with diagnostics), 30+ publication-quality charts, and machine learning (PCA, clustering, decision trees, random forests, boosted trees) into one fast native app — on up to ~5 million rows. Import your .csv or .xlsx directly and try it on your own data before you buy.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a more affordable alternative to JMP?

Yes — Stratum is a native desktop statistics app at a one-time price, covering core analyses plus 30+ charts and built-in machine learning.

Does it run natively on Mac?

Yes — a native macOS app (macOS 14 or later) and a native Windows app (Windows 10/11, 64-bit).
