Built on Altium Designer® and Altium 365®, it enables real-time collaboration across engineering, design, and operations teams, reducing delays caused by disconnected tools and file-based workflows. Designed for electronics teams and organizations managing complex PCB and hardware development, Altium Develop supports cross-functional collaboration throughout the entire product lifecycle. Through Requirements Portal, stakeholders can contribute to and review requirements in a centralized workspace, helping ensure alignment from definition through design and delivery. Key capabilities include: • Real-time collaboration: Shared workspace for ECAD design, reviews, and project coordination • Component and supply chain visibility: Access to live component data, pricing, and availability • Requirements management (Requirements Portal): Capture, review, and link product requirements to design decisions for end-to-end traceability • BOM and workflow management: Manage bill of materials, sourcing, and change processes in one platform • ECAD-MCAD co-design: Enable collaboration between electrical and mechanical teams By centralizing design data, workflows, and collaboration, Altium Develop improves visibility, reduces rework, and helps teams bring electronic products to market faster. The platform is particularly well suited for organizations looking to streamline PCB design processes, enhance collaboration, and scale development across distributed teams. Altium Develop is used by teams evaluating alternatives to tools like Autodesk Fusion, KiCad, Cadence OrCAD, and SOLIDWORKS for PCB design and collaborative electronics development, including requirements management for hardware and electronics systems. * * * Product Website Altium Develop Seller [Altium](https://www.g2.com/sellers/altium-caf10713-ff96-44ab-90af-cc9c6c9ef346) Discussions [Altium Develop Community](https://www.g2.com/products/altium-develop/discuss) Languages Supported English Solution Type All-in-One Overview by Alanna Jordan Show More ## Pricing Pricing provided by Altium Develop. ### Altium Develop Pricing Starting at $1,990.00 Per Year [ View More Pricing Information ](https://www.g2.com/products/altium-develop/pricing) Altium Solutions (1) See how Altium products can work together to solve real problems.

I really like the search feature for manufactured parts in Altium Develop. It allows me to search for components, add them quickly, and see their availability status. This feature is extremely convenient because it helps me to quickly identify components, add them to a library for future reuse, and see if they are still valid. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Altium Develop? I would say it's the visibility of all possible options. Altium is quite a complex tool with a lot of options, sometimes things that can be done in many different ways. And as a result, it's quite difficult to navigate in terms of ergonomics. Perhaps it would be necessary to centralize certain things so that they are less scattered throughout the software, which is something that can slow things down at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Altium Develop solving and how is that benefiting you? I would say that Altium Develop allows for creating schematics, routing, and manufacturing rule checks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
