SaNaPLS No charge · testing phase
PLS-SEM · fsQCA · ANN · cIPMA, in one suite

From raw questionnaire data to publication-ready results — in one guided workflow.

SaNaPLS takes you from an uploaded survey file to latent variable scores, bootstrapped path coefficients, fsQCA configurations, neural-network importance rankings and cIPMA — with every cut-off traced to a published source. Nothing you upload ever leaves your browser.

Quantitative Analysis — the SaNaPLS dashboard: survey data, PLS-SEM, fsQCA, ANN and cIPMA.

Thematic Analysis — SaNaQual, for interviews and open-ended answers, including follow-up interviews that explain your PLS-SEM results. Version 1.0.0: coding, themes, intercoder agreement, checklists and a Word report.

No account. No install. No data leaves your device.

What matters most, and what's necessary

Why not just use what you have

Built to replace a folder of separate tools and licences

Nothing to install

Runs in any modern browser — Windows, Mac or Linux, no setup.

Your data stays yours

Every calculation runs on your machine. Nothing is uploaded to a server.

Works offline

After the first visit, keep running analyses without a connection.

One shared dataset

Upload once; every tool below reads the same file and the same constructs.

The workflow

Four stages, in order — the same ones on your dashboard

1

Prepare your data

Bring in a CSV, Excel or SPSS file, confirm what each column is, and screen the data once.

Import & screening
2

Describe

Summarise your sample, cross-tabulate demographics, check every item and score for normality, and explore which questions belong together with a factor analysis.

Demographics & descriptivesNormality testsExploratory factor analysis
3

Estimate your model

Calculate latent variable scores with PLS-SEM, then check reliability, validity and path significance with bootstrapping, and look for hidden groups of respondents with FIMIX-PLS and PLS-POS. Run correlations, linear regression and logistic regression on your uploaded data or on the PLS-SEM scores.

Supplementary analysis

Go beyond the path model: fsQCA configurations, neural-network importance rankings, and cIPMA — built on your estimated model or uploaded scores.

fsQCA and ANN are also available as stand-alone apps ↓

Stand-alone apps

Only need fsQCA or ANN?

If you already have latent variable scores from your PLS-SEM software, you can use our classic single-purpose apps. They run in your browser and need no sign-in.

SaNaSoft fsQCA

Free · v1.2

Guided fuzzy-set QCA: calibration, necessary conditions, truth table, complex, parsimonious and intermediate solutions, robustness and predictive checks, and an APA-style Word report. Benchmarked against the R package QCA.

SaNaSoft-ANN

Free · v2.1

Guided artificial neural network analysis for the PLS-SEM + ANN hybrid approach (Leong et al., 2025): ten networks, RMSE tables, sensitivity analysis, the PLS-SEM vs ANN comparison and a publication-ready report.

No guessing at thresholds

Every cut-off is traced to a published source

  • Reliability and validity bands follow Hair et al.'s guidance, with the exact source named next to every number.
  • Minimum sample size uses Kock & Hadaya's inverse-square-root method, matched value-for-value against established PLS-SEM software.
  • fsQCA and NCA follow Ragin and Dul's published procedures, including robustness and predictive checks.
  • The ANN stage follows Leong et al.'s published cross-validation pipeline.
  • The Word report includes the figures too: the PLS-SEM path diagram, scree plot, heatmaps, regression and ROC plots.
  • Every downloaded Word report ends with a "Criteria used" table listing every threshold applied and its source.
