Altium 365 plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Altium Develop | $1990/year | 5 | Entry tier |
| Altium Agile Teams | On request | 3 | Priced on request |
| Enterprise | On request | 3 | Priced on request |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

People bring Altium 365 in for a hardware startup where two engineers draw boards but eight people need to review them, avoiding eight cad seats, a team handing fabrication and assembly data to a contract manufacturer as a versioned release rather than a zip of gerbers, a company running board and enclosure design in parallel and needing bidirectional geometry exchange with mechanical cad, a buyer checking component lifecycle and availability against the live bom before a design is frozen. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to Altium 365 are worth a look before you commit to a tier.

Before you pay for Altium 365
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 3 tiers between $1990/year and On request, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare Altium 365 against the tools that do have one before committing.
Altium 365 runs on web, windows, cloud, on-premise, and is published by Altium LLC, a Renesas Electronics company of San Diego, California, United States. The full record is on the Altium 365 review, and the rest of the category is under best cad tools.
