Altium is mid-range. Like Solidworks for mechanical enginieering. There's another tier of PCB design tools above Altium with matching cost per seat, e.g. Mento

There's another tier of PCB design tools above Altium with matching cost per seat, e.g. Mentor Graphics Expedition. Unigraphics, for mech Es.
Both of the above owned by Siemens! They certainly know how to charge large sums of money!
- IshKebab 5y agoI wouldn't say Solidworks is mid range. I have used Solidworks and NX extensively and they're very very similar. I haven't used Altium but the companies I've heard using it aren't "mid range" companies and everyone describes Altium and Mentor as basically the two "pro" options.
- madengr 5y agoAltium is definitely mid-range on the price point. Mentor and Cadence are 10x.
