Unlock qualitative analysis with Quirkos

Buy a licence instantly for your sector

Licences and pricing

Quirkos is already one of the most affordable and easy to learn qualitative analysis software packages, but offers significant discounts for different users.

Students Academic and charities Public sector Commercial

There are also discounts for researchers in developing countries that would normally struggle to afford other qualitative software.

All our software licences are one-time payments, offering a perpetual licence that doesn't expire. One licence is required for each computer Quirkos is used on, regardless of platform. Our on-line support is available to all customers without registration, we only charge extra for one-to-one email or telephone support.

We also offer discounts for organisations purchasing multiple licences, including 'floating' licence options. If you would like to discuss site licences, or require a purchase order, please contact sales@quirkos.com and check our site licence page for more information. Otherwise you can buy a licence instantly by debit or credit card below.

If you want to upgrade your Quirkos 1 licence to Quirkos v2 for a large discount, place an order with our online system.

Commercial sector

Our commercial licence offers the full Quirkos experience, with unrestricted use for any commercial purpose, and our full package of support. This includes one year of direct support by phone or e-mail, in addition to the on-line support resources. For group or institutional purchases, we can also arrange workshops to introduce Quirkos to your team and learn qualitative approaches.

Order directly with a credit or debit card for an immediate licence code, or contact us at sales@quirkos.com to arrange a purchase order or invoice.

Public sector

We offer a reduced rate for the government and public sector organisations, while still including excellent e-mail support. For group or institutional purchases, we can also arrange workshops to introduce Quirkos and qualitative research to your team, and telephone support is available as an optional extra.

Educational institutions at all levels, not-for profit social enterprises and registered charities can claim a large discount on Quirkos licences on proof of status.

Order directly with a credit or debit card if you have a common educational e-mail address (such as .ac.uk, .ac.fr, .edu) for an immediate licence code, or contact us at sales@quirkos.com to verify your status or arrange a purchase order or invoice.

Student licences

Students at any level can buy their own qualitative software from Quirkos at a terrific discount. This is NOT a one semester or single year licence, but a full permanent licence! To qualify, we require a valid e-mail address from an educational institution, and scanned proof of student status, such as a student card for a specific institution (NUS fine but not ISIC - sorry!), or letter of registration.

Order directly with a credit or debit card using the 'Buy Now' button, and once your student status has been verified we will e-mail your code.

Eligibility for discounts is dependent on providing proof of status.

By default, our licenses are for one user, one computer. If you need a licence for two computers, for example for a desktop and your laptop, we offer a 50% discount for the same user. These can only be selected at time of purchase.

When placing your order, you also have the option to order a printed copy of the manual, and a Quirkos USB drive to be delivered to you. This includes a USB stick containing installers for the software, a 'live' version of Quirkos that can run directly from the USB stick, and digital copies of the manual, Getting-Started guide, video overviews, and example project data. All these materials can also be downloaded from our support pages, but if you prefer a physical copy for convenience (or you have a slow internet connection) these can be posted to you for a small flat fee (+£15). If you need a CD-ROM instead of USB stick (for example if your organisation does not allow USB drives to be used) just drop us an e-mail when you place your order and we can substitute this.

Global licences

We also offer a 25% discount for students and researchers in low and lower-middle-income countries, on top of the sector discounts above. We count this as any country with a GDP Per-Capita below US$26,000 PPP, or a monthly average salary below 1000EUR.There is more information in this blog-post on accessibility, but to check your eligibility and to place an order with these discounted rates, please contact us directly at sales@quirkos.com.
