Provalis Research is glad to announce the release of a free version of our QDA Miner qualitative coding tool. This free version is called QDA Miner Lite.
We removed from the full version of QDA Miner the advanced text retrieval tools (query-by-example, section retrieval, clustered coding, etc.), most of the analysis features (clustering, mds, crosstab, etc.) and several advanced code management features. However, we keep all the essential features for importing, coding, annotating documents and images and for retrieving coded segments. We also implemented a new file format for storing a whole project in a single file.
The result is, in our opinion, an easy-to-use CAQDAS tool ideal for those on tiny budgets (or with no budget) or those who wish to teach qualitative research in classes and are looking for something more intuitive and more powerful than existing freeware.
You can get more information about QDA Miner Lite from here:

Please note that this is the very first release of QDA Miner Lite. We may add additional features in the future.
