Designer-First – The Altium Heritage
Altium was the first to put engineers at the center of electronic design.
Altium Develop revives that Designer-First mindset — the foundation that made us the industry standard.
The Tools That Changed an Industry
Power AND price, without compromise
Altium Develop delivers the same professional-grade design capabilities that made Altium the industry standard. This isn’t a “lite” version — it’s the full Altium Designer experience, tuned for individuals and small teams who want tools that put engineers first, without the enterprise detours.
The User Is The Customer
Pay for what you value
Enterprise features come with enterprise prices — whether you need them or not. Devoid of these things you’ll never use, Altium Develop resets our easy to use, easy to understand, and easy to afford model:
- $995/year per design author (up to 5) plus
- $995/year platform access with unlimited collaborators.
It’s the same Altium power, refactored for those who design, not for those who manage.
Collaboration Without Compromise
Altium 365, tailored to how you work.
Altium 365 proved collaboration could transform design, but enterprises often dictated how it was used. With Altium Develop, collaboration conforms to you: no need for every participant to use Altium Designer. Invite anyone, share securely, and keep projects aligned — without rigid workflows or overhead. It’s collaboration that enhances creativity, not one that limits it.
What’s Included
Explore the designer-first capabilities of Altium Develop
Define
Capture what matters—so your intent stays clear as you work.
As you design, you naturally define goals, constraints, and tradeoffs along the way. Altium Develop gives you a simple way to capture that intent directly alongside your work—so important details don’t live only in your head, notes, or separate documents.
With Altium Develop, you can:
- Define requirements in context — capture functional goals, constraints, and criteria where they naturally arise in the design
- Preserve design intent — record the reasoning behind decisions as you make them, not after the fact
- Keep clarity as work evolves — revisit what matters without retracing steps or searching for information
The result is work that stays intentional and understandable over time—supporting focused individual problem-solving, while remaining ready to be shared when needed.
Design
Professional PCB design, without compromise—and without enterprise overhead.
Altium Develop includes Altium Designer, the industry-standard tool used by engineers worldwide to create real production hardware. Whether you already use Altium Designer or are evaluating it for the first time, you get the complete design experience engineers and designers want—but you don’t get the enterprise clutter you don’t.
With Altium Develop, you can:
- Design with the industry standard — full schematic and PCB layout capabilities used across professional product development
- Work in context — designs stay connected to what you define, source, and prepare as your work evolves
- Adopt at your own pace — design the way you want; added capabilities surface naturally when they’re useful
The result is a design environment that’s proven, capable, and familiar— supported by a platform that keeps everything around the design aligned as you move forward.
Source
Make part decisions with cost, availability, and risk visible—before they become problems.
Altium Develop brings supply chain intelligence directly into the design workflow, so sourcing decisions happen as you work, not after the fact. Instead of guessing or switching tools, you see availability, pricing, and lifecycle information in context—when it still matters.
With Altium Develop, you get:
- Live component insight — view availability, pricing, and lifecycle status directly alongside your design
- Smarter part choices — quickly evaluate alternatives and understand tradeoffs without reworking your design
- Fewer downstream surprises — reduce last-minute changes caused by shortages, obsolescence, or cost overruns
The result is designs that are not only correct—but buildable, sourceable, and ready to move forward, whether you have a purchasing department or you are the purchasing department.
Share
Everything related to your work stays connected—whether you’re working solo or with others.
Altium Develop keeps designs, decisions, and progress in one shared context, so work stays organized and visible as it happens. Whether you’re doing everything yourself or collaborating with others, the project stays aligned—without extra tools, handoffs, or coordination overhead.
With Altium Develop, you get:
- Work in context — comments, decisions, and tasks live directly alongside the design, not in separate tools
- Always-up-to-date visibility — progress, changes, and discussions are current and easy to track as work evolves
- Collaboration when you need it — bring others in to review, contribute, or give feedback without changing how you work
The result is a project that stays clear and manageable as work progresses—supporting focused individual work today and seamless collaboration when needed.
Deliver
Design with delivery in mind—so what you build matches what you designed.
Altium Develop brings manufacturing considerations into the design process, where they belong. Instead of discovering issues late, you can validate readiness as you work—reducing rework, delays, and last-minute changes.
With Altium Develop, you get:
- Manufacturing insight in context — design decisions stay aligned with fabrication and assembly needs
- Earlier validation — identify potential manufacturing issues before designs are finalized
- Smoother handoff — share accurate, up-to-date data that helps ensure what’s designed is what gets built
The result is faster, more predictable delivery—with fewer surprises between design and production, whether you’re building one prototype or scaling beyond it.
Save
Save your work with confidence—so nothing gets lost, overwritten, or out of sync.
Altium Develop gives you a better way to save your work as it evolves. Designs, changes, and decisions are captured together, so you always know what’s current—without worrying about versions, files, or losing context.
With Altium Develop, you can:
- Save in context — designs, changes, and related details are captured together, not scattered across files
- Keep a clear history — understand what changed, when it changed, and why, without extra effort
- Stay ready to share — when it’s time, your work is already organized and complete
The result is less confusion and more confidence—supporting focused individual work today and seamless collaboration when it’s needed.
