The bad news is that it is essentially a nagware version of StatPlus:mac Pro, the $250 version that has 'many extra features to help you analyze data better and more professionally.'

The LE version does seem to cover the most common analysis functions, though, and for the rest of this week AnalystSoft is offering a 20 percent discount on the Pro version. You could grab it for just $200 if you need any of its advanced analysis functions. Academic discounts are also available.
The nagware annoyance aside, StatPlus:mac LE should suffice for many users, especially those that have been stuck with Excel 2004 and haven't been too thrilled with its performance under Rosetta. And, for those that have more advanced analysis needs, StatPlus:mac Pro may prove to be a useful solution.
