CircuitLab

CircuitLab offers tools that enable engineers, students and hobbyists to design, analyze, build and share circuits. Put simply, it is about building software for you when nothing off the shelf fits.

Who is it for? Mostly companies with a specific process to automate. They are a very small team, 1 to 10 people, which usually shapes who they work with. Small vendors mean quick answers and real influence on the roadmap, but check who covers support when someone is out.

CircuitLab is based in Mountain View, California and founded in 2012. Their site is circuitlab.com.

Our checklist for this category: portfolio relevance, who owns the code, and how they handle changes. A short pilot with your real data tells you more than any demo.

If you have worked with CircuitLab, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
