Tell me if I got this right. Altium is better then Orcad, and Eagle is better then Orcad. So which one is better between Altium and Eagle?

- aceperry 10y agoNo comparison, Altium is much better than Eagle, especially for professional work. I haven't used Orcad in a long time, but back then, Orcad was much better than Altium. Nowadays, Orcad is priced beyond mortals, Altium is relatively affordable, and Eagle is cheap. Kicad is free and considered equivalent to Eagle.
- uola 10y ago> Altium is relatively affordable, and Eagle is cheap For reference Altium is still around $7500 plus $1500 per year for updates and Eagle without board restrictions is $1600.
- cushychicken 10y agoWhoops, I meant to imply that Orcad is better than Eagle. I really just find it hard to do hobby projects in Eagle because I'm so used to Orcad's workflow by now. All the shortcuts are different. :(
