Altium Designer 
Altium 365 Stop Paying for Enterprise Features You Don’t Use
Altium Develop delivers the same professional PCB design and collaboration — starting at just $995/year
— by focusing on what individuals and small teams actually need, without enterprise overhead.
Same Iconic Design Tools
Full Altium Designer capability — No “lite” Version.
Altium Develop delivers the complete Altium Designer experience — the professional-grade PCB tools engineers and designers know and trust. Purpose-built for individuals and small teams, it strips away enterprise bloat while keeping all the power you need. No “lite” version means no compromises.
Clear, Simple Pricing
$995 per Design Author + $995 Platform Fee.
With Altium Develop, pricing is as straightforward as the tools. Each concurrent Design Author is $995 per year (up to five), giving engineers full design capability. The Platform fee — $995 per year — provides the collaboration backbone, with unlimited non-author collaborators, secure project sharing, versioning, and cloud data management. It’s Altium 365, streamlined for engineers and small teams — all the essentials, none of the enterprise baggage.
Collaboration Without Barriers
Altium 365 — tuned for engineers and small teams.
Collaboration should conform to you, not the other way around. Built on Altium 365, but optimized for individuals and small teams, Altium Develop delivers unlimited non-author collaborators, project sharing, versioning, and cloud backups. You get seamless connectivity and visibility, without enterprise restrictions or forced “best practices.” Stay connected, stay creative — on your own terms.
Co-Create
with Shared Data, Shared Context and Shared Purpose
Design
Electronics projects have revolved around PCB designs. Electrical, mechanical, simulation or software engineers focused on completing their specific tasks. Non-engineers purchase parts, track requirements, or manage the project. Almost nobody has full visibility into design artifacts, and projects lacking that inevitably become manual, disconnected, and fraught with friction.
With Altium Develop:
- Design with Altium Designer, the industry-leading PCB software
- Multidisciplinary product development becomes company culture
- Invite unlimited collaborators to see designs & give feedback
Project
Everyone working on an electronics product deserves visibility. But with data scattered across tools and systems, team members lack the context they need. Electrical engineers miss requirements, purchasers can’t match designs to BOMs, and mechanical engineers guess at board placement. Limited project visibility makes it hard for experts to do their best work.
With Altium Develop:
- Functional experts become co-creators with shared purpose
- Real-time project updates replace manual check-ins and file transfers
- Built-in comments, tasks, and free collaboration dissolves barriers
Requirements
To develop electronics while working together as one, everyone needs to understand requirements for the system–both electronic and otherwise. Unfortunately, not everyone has time to sift through a long list to find the functional, performance, compliance, environmental or integration requirements that they need to guide their individual contributions.
With Altium Develop:
- Requirements display contextually in universally visible design files
- Team members focus on the requirements relevant to them
- Managers see progress or can drill down to validate requirements
Supply Chain
Managing BOMs and sourcing parts requires unconstrained coordination between engineering, procurement, and the whole team. In a world of rising tariffs, it's even more important that many eyes watch changes in designs, component price increases, or declining inventory levels. That shared vigilance can save promising products from becoming costly mistakes.
With Altium Develop:
- Clearly reveal supply chain dependencies in PCB designs & schematics
- See component pricing, availability, and lifecycle status in context
- Swiftly evaluate alternative parts and assess trade-offs as a team
Manufacturing
Operational silos within any multidisciplinary team can hinder manufacturing readiness. Manufacturing engineers or contract manufacturers are the experts on avoiding manufacturing challenges. They’ve seen them many times before. And yet, they don’t have upstream visibility to flag issues early. By the time they see designs, issues may be too late or too costly to fix.
With Altium Develop:
- Build prototypes from design files, in direct connection with engineers
- Manufacturing engineers provide early feedback to designers
- Designers invite in-house and contract manufacturers to comment
Data
Data is knowledge and knowledge is power. Too many product development teams think only about making products, and they leave producing great data as an afterthought. Imagine electronics development data freely shared with collaborators who enrich it as they participate. Collaboration changes into co-creation when everyone can share anything with their colleagues.
With Altium Develop:
- Unlimited data sharing to erase blind spots and improve decisions
- Treat producing quality data as a core objective, not as an afterthought
- Network effects transform collaboration into boundless co-creation
