NEW (2026-09): If you are interested in a browser-based alternative to STAN, give OpenSEFA a try. OpenSEFA is an active research prototype, developed by MATPLUS in cooperation with TU Wien and Marcelo Forets. Links to a free hosted instance, the user manual, and the documentation of the developed reconciliation engine (available on GitHub), together with further information, can be found in this white paper. Feel free to test OpenSEFA, share your experience and contribute to its further development.

NEW (2025-08): STAN (designed for Windows) now also runs on Mac (with Intel processor) and Linux.
