PsyStat Nexus is built by Moonlit Social Labs — a small, independent studio on a mission to make advanced research statistics accessible to every behavioral scientist, regardless of budget or coding ability.
Researchers in psychology, sociology, criminology, education, and related fields need powerful statistical tools. But the options are grim: legacy desktop software with $1,000+ licenses, R scripts that require a semester of programming to learn, or point-and-click tools that cap out the moment you need something beyond a t-test.
The result? Researchers spend more time fighting their software than thinking about their science. Students learn to fear statistics instead of understanding it. Labs pay for five different tools and still end up copy-pasting numbers into spreadsheets.
PsyStat Nexus puts 240+ statistical methods into a single platform that runs on any device — iOS, Android, and the web. No installation, no license keys, no SPSS dongle.
Every analysis comes with APA-formatted output, interactive visualizations, assumption checks, and an AI assistant that can explain what your results mean in plain language or recommend the right test for your research question.
Every method explains what it does, why, and when it might mislead you.
Free tier with real functionality. No paywalling basic analyses.
Backend powered by scipy, statsmodels, and peer-reviewed algorithms.
Our novel methods include an "honest assessment" of what's new vs. standard.
Moonlit Social Labs is an independent software studio focused on tools for the social and behavioral sciences. We believe the best statistical software should be built with researchers, not at them.
