    PaidOpen sourceWindowsmacOSLinux

    Fritzing adds a breadboard view for project documentation, is GPL-3.0 open source, and charges for official compiled downloads.

  • LibrePCB

    A free, open-source electronics design suite for drawing schematics and laying out printed circuit boards.

    FreeOpen sourceWindowsmacOSLinux

    LibrePCB is free and open source for desktop use with no online account, using a human-readable file format suited to Git.

  • DipTrace

    Schematic capture and PCB layout software with constraint-driven design and interactive push-and-shove routing.

    PaidProprietaryWindows

    DipTrace is Windows desktop software with push-and-shove routing and detailed design rule checks, sold on a perpetual licence rather than freemium.

  • Proteus Design Suite

    Electronics design software combining schematic capture, circuit and microcontroller simulation, and PCB layout.

    PaidProprietaryWindows

    Proteus Design Suite is paid Windows software combining schematic capture, PCB layout and microcontroller firmware simulation in one suite.

Also worth comparing

These listings name EasyEDA as their own alternative, so the relationship runs both ways.

  • CircuitMaker

    Free schematic and PCB design software from Altium with a community component library.

    FreeProprietaryWindows

    EasyEDA moves schematic and PCB design into the browser with component libraries on a freemium plan, while manufacturing orders and some services cost extra.

  • DesignSpark PCB

    Schematic capture and printed circuit board layout software with a free plan and paid tiers.

    FreemiumProprietaryWindows

    EasyEDA moves schematic and PCB design into the browser with component libraries on a freemium model, while manufacturing orders and some services carry separate costs.

  • Lepton EDA

    An open-source electronic design automation suite for schematic capture and netlisting, forked from gEDA.

    FreeOpen sourceLinux

    EasyEDA moves schematic and PCB design into a browser on a freemium, closed-source model, replacing Lepton's command-line friendly workflow.

  • OrCAD X

    Cadence's commercial PCB design suite for schematic capture, simulation and board layout.

    PaidProprietaryWindows

    EasyEDA moves schematic and PCB design into the browser on a freemium model with component libraries, while manufacturing orders cost extra.
