Compare DipTrace with alternatives
DipTrace vs DesignSpark PCB
DesignSpark PCB offers a free Windows plan without limits on layers, connections or schematic size, though several newer features require paid plans.
DipTrace vs Altium Designer
Altium Designer is a professional Windows suite covering schematic, simulation, layout and manufacturing files, with expensive commercial licensing instead of DipTrace's perpetual licence.
DipTrace vs OrCAD X
OrCAD X is Cadence's commercial Windows suite with schematic, simulation and board layout, adding SPICE and mixed-signal analysis in higher editions.
DipTrace vs CircuitMaker
CircuitMaker is free, proprietary Windows software built on Altium technology that allows commercial use, but only five projects can stay private and others are shared.
DipTrace vs Proteus Design Suite
Electronics design software combining schematic capture, circuit and microcontroller simulation, and PCB layout.
DipTrace vs KiCad
KiCad is free and open source on Windows, macOS and Linux, with schematic capture, PCB layout, a 3D viewer and no limits on board size or layers.
DipTrace vs EasyEDA
EasyEDA runs in a browser on a freemium model, linking schematic and PCB work with component libraries, while manufacturing orders and some services cost extra.
DipTrace vs Horizon EDA
Horizon EDA is free and open source for Windows and Linux, with parts management, interactive routing and design-rule checks through to manufacturing files.
DipTrace vs LibrePCB
LibrePCB is free and open source on Windows, Linux and macOS with a Git-friendly file format, but has a smaller parts ecosystem and no built-in simulation.
DipTrace vs Fritzing
Document electronics projects with breadboard, schematic and PCB views.
DipTrace vs Lepton EDA
An open-source electronic design automation suite for schematic capture and netlisting, forked from gEDA.
