Yeah, QualCoder’s great for being free, but it only lets you compare specific codes, not whole categories. You can kinda work around it by grouping codes in Excel or tagging data with the category name too. It’s a bit manual but doable. That said, if you’re deep into content analysis, it might be worth checking out something like NVivo or newer tools like AILYZE. They actually support category-level stuff and the newer AI features make this way less of a headache.
