SPSS is a standalone general-purpose statistics package. Sciente includes statistics for systematic reviews and meta-analysis directly within one research cycle — alongside literature search, evidence appraisal and the editor. SPSS is deeper as a general stats package; Sciente is more convenient when statistics are part of the review rather than a separate stage.

Choose Sciente when statistics are part of a systematic review; SPSS for deep general-purpose analysis outside the review cycle.
