About

Flux is browser-based PCB design software (EDA) with an AI hardware design assistant. It combines schematic capture, PCB layout, routing, simulation, and design rule checks in one workspace. Describe a circuit in plain language to generate a schematic, then refine it in the editor. AI helps research parts, place components, route traces, and review designs. Engineers set constraints and approve the final board. Teams edit projects together in real time, share comments, manage permissions, and reuse community parts and designs. Live component pricing and availability support sourcing. Export Gerber, BOM, and pick-and-place files for manufacturing. Import Altium ASCII and Cadence EDIF schematics or KiCad component libraries; these imports do not include PCB layouts. Flux runs in a web browser without a desktop installation. A 14-day trial includes limited AI usage. Paid plans are required afterward for private-project editing/export and AI.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • They sign you up really easy and lead you to belive they can assist. But then your trial runs out and they don't give you any warning the amount of charges you can incur afterwards

Cons

  • Terrible experience. I was billed sequentially five times while supposedly on a free trial, with zero notification that I would be charged an extra $20. The billing practices feel very shady. On top of that, the AI product itself is subpar—I've honestly gotten better results using Gemini for free. Don't waste your money here; you're better off just using KiCad.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Iv'e been getting marketing spam from a number of companies at an address that was unique to TraceParts. My profile doesn't have the box ticked to say I give them permission to do that.
  • Handy for the bits you need, all kinds of random dwg blocks, I was looking for shackle blocks for a project.

Cons

  • They sent me spam, They allowed others to send me spam (ie emails have come direct from Ulitmaker)
  • I use a unique email for new sites until I know they’re OK and have so far had two emails from third parties to this email address. Be wary when signing up with a regular email address.
