iCircuit Alternatives

iCircuit is described as 'Its advanced simulation engine can handle both analog and digital circuits and features realtime always-on analysis. It is the perfect companion to students, hobbyists, and engineers' and is a circuit simulator in the education & reference category. There are more than 25 alternatives to iCircuit for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Mac, Linux, Online / Web-based and Flathub. The best alternative is KiCad, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like iCircuit are Circuit JS, Fritzing, QUCS and LTspice.

iCircuit alternatives are mainly Circuit Simulators but may also be Electronic Design Automation Tools or CAD Software. Filter by these if you want a narrower list of alternatives or looking for a specific functionality of iCircuit.
