The web app is free forever. Pay when you outgrow it — collaboration, an app you own, or a self-hosted enterprise stack.
Your designs are always exportable, always yours.

Yes. The web app at app.circuitcaster.com is permanently free with no signup, no card, no ads. The paid tiers only add features on top — they never take anything away from Free.
Because you should own the tool you designed a product with. Pay $99 once, keep the app forever, all v1.x updates included. Major version upgrades (v2.0+) are optional and priced separately. This is how AutoCAD LT, Sublime Text, and every honest perpetual-license shop still runs — no bait-and-switch cloud dependency.
Pro includes a bonus 5 opt-in cloud-collab projects. Toggle collab on a specific project to share it; everything else stays local + private. If you need more than 5 shared projects, add a Team subscription on top of Pro.
You get a Docker container (or Helm chart) that runs the entire Circuitcaster stack on your servers. Your data never touches ours. Air-gapped install available for classified environments. Annual contract, custom pricing based on seat count and support level. Email [email protected] for a quote.
Yes, always. Every tier lets you export a full dotgame.project_bundle.v1 JSON at any time. Take it to KiCad, take it to any downstream tool, take it home. No lock-in, ever.
No. Your projects are never used to train models. Community-library submissions are the only public content, and those are explicit opt-in per project.
Your 5 Team projects stay in the cloud for 90 days in read-only mode. You can export them or re-upgrade to restore edit access. After 90 days they're deleted — no surprise storage bills, no held-hostage data.
Yes. Stripe handles currency conversion automatically at checkout.
