"It's free and simple to use, but doesn't boast the versatility or the power of the mainstream EDAs."

4/5

What do you like best about EasyEDA?

It's free. The part-list library is pretty large. We can design with fabrication in mind as it links with the Chinese LCSC store for a bridged JLCPCB fabrication. Literally automates the whole BOM and Pick and place file generation process. That's a definite plus. It's also easy to use, and there's a forum for help. There's also an offline client for edge working without connecting to the internet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about EasyEDA?

I just hate the interface. It's cluttery, looks like them old OrCAD EDAs like PSPICe and all. The PCB designer is weird, there's no routing assisting, layer control is bad, and layer visibility is not at all there to partially see what's on the other layers. It's a bad experience overall. But, hey, it's free. It is worth the struggle if the designs are simple and you gonna use JLCPCB to get them done. You can literally order assembled pieces from inside the software. It's a fair trade-off. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is EasyEDA solving and how is that benefiting you?

Electronics designs of all kinds. PCBs, Schematics, circuits for simulations, part listing, inventory for chips and components. It's pretty good. 3D models can be generated from the designed PCBs which are great for showing clients and contacts. They aren't as great as Altium, but it gets the job done.
