stdmod alternatives
The best stdmod alternatives in analytics tools, ranked by Sparkpulse's velocity_score.
Updated Aug 16, 2026
Looking for the best alternatives to stdmod? Sparkpulse tracks and ranks 12 alternatives in analytics tools by shipping velocity — how frequently each ships meaningful updates, verified from official changelogs. For reference, stdmod shipped 0 meaningful updates in the last 30 days and carries a velocity score of 2.5 out of 10 in 2026. The alternatives below are ranked the same way, so you're comparing real release momentum, not marketing claims.
About stdmod
A moderation-analysis package now pointing users at its own siblings for the harder work.
stdmod computes standardized moderation effects in regression, part of a cluster of R packages from the same author covering moderation, mediation and model comparison. Its release feed is a CRAN-announcement format — several entries carry nothing but a version and a link — and its development has slowed markedly, with the substantive feature work sitting back in 2024. The most recent release is documentation rather than code.
