Altium Develop uses a simple, easy-to-understand subscription model designed for small teams that value clarity and predictability. It includes three components:
This makes collaboration easy to expand as your project grows.
No — this pricing was designed by Renesas, Altium’s new parent company, with a commitment to making Altium more accessible than ever before, delivering big-company power at a small-company price with Altium Develop.
No — Altium Develop includes both Altium Designer and Altium 365, so you have everything you need to design, share, and co-create in one connected environment.
You can have as many Altium Designer authors as you need — the 5 limit applies only to concurrent authors. If your team shares access, then one seat can serve multiple authors. The only limitation is that simultaneous access is restricted to your region.
Yes — Altium Develop is built for concurrent, multidisciplinary electronics hardware design and development. Multiple authors can co-edit projects within the same workspace.
Collaborators (free) can review, comment, manage tasks, interact with BOMs, and create and edit requirements — everything except editing schematics or layouts in Altium Designer.
Simply add more author seats as you grow. If your team expands beyond 5 concurrent authors and/or you need greater control over users, processes, and data, Altium Agile Teams is the seamless next step.
Absolutely. Start with one workspace and one author. You can add more authors and collaborators anytime without any disruption or downtime.
Altium Develop is the entry point for individuals and small teams, offering a simple subscription model with three elements: a workspace subscription, concurrent author seats for Altium Designer, and unlimited free collaborators.
As your team scales — for example, when you need more than five concurrent authors, or you begin requiring structured workflows, compliance, advanced permissioning, or cross-discipline governance — Altium Agile becomes the natural progression path. Agile extends the same core foundation as Develop but introduces the capabilities larger organizations depend on.
Altium Agile, offered in Teams and Enterprise editions, uses a quote-based subscription model. Pricing varies based on organization size, governance requirements, and the level of structure needed to support product development at scale.
