PCB design that is free and very similar or cheaper than Altium

jackmarison93 over 6 years ago

I wanted to know if that is an alternative type of PCB design that has a similar interface and design like Altium because the price is ridiculous

I was also going to suggest Circuit Studio. I've not used it myself, but I know it's intended to be a subset of AD.

Before rushing into that I suggest you check out the discussions re. Circuit Studio on E14 - the purchasers of that product do not seem very happy.

@ Jack, if you must have free then Kicad is almost certainly the way to go.

If mere cheap might do then take a look at EasyPC, easy to use and in my experience it's been very reliable. Very few crashes or problems of any kind in more than 10 years of using it. Much simpler and less ambitious than Altium and other big ticket products but that'll be why it's cheap but actually works.

michaelkellett , the thing is that there are tons of these kind of posts for each of the EDA packets. When they are written in that tone, I shift them aside.

That's certainly true - all reviews should be interpreted in the context of what you know about the reviewer.
