So, I haven't used it in a while and it seems to have more features but it looks like Proteus is just shy of £4k for their entire suite of tools, still one of the best MCU sims I have found thus far but by no means perfect. There doesn't seem to be much opinions or posts regarding Pulsonix on this forum so I was wondering are there any strong opinions regarding it and why does it not have more users? In the attached picture are current approximate Euro prices of the software I compared, this is for a single user license.ĭon't forget that a gotcha within the PCB tool industry is that they 'forget' to tell you that you have to add another £2k to that pricing for a years support, and that it is an ongoing cost (you can choose to cancel support after the first year). It is actively being developed with a new version released recently. There is great compatibility with other formats such as Altium ASCII. In general it is fast and intuitive to use. My own opinion of Pulsonix is that it is most similar to Altium. The comparison was focused on development of moderately complex electronics with the emphasis on the ability to produce professional designs quickly. I found that Pulsonix seems to have the best performance and features set for my needs.

What are your opinions about the Pulsonix schematic/ PCB design software? I have conducted a comparison test to determine the most suitable design software to move to, the comparison included Orcad, Altium, Proteus, Diptrace, Pulsonix and Eagle.
