NCSS vs workloopR
Both stand on statistical analysis software. Which one you can start free with, which one lets you read the code, and what each costs once you pay.
Free trial Windows
NCSS provides a broad Windows toolkit for statistical procedures, data preparation, plots, and scripting. Its trial and subscription options may help evaluation, while platform and licensing requirements need review.

workloopR offers analysis and batch-processing functions for several muscle physiology experiment types. Its lack of built-in plotting and requirement to prepare other formats as muscle_stim objects are important considerations.
