Which one is more popular: KiCad or EAGLE? Originally, I thought this could be answered with a few simple searches on Google or Github. However, as with most interesting questions, getting the answer was a bit more complicated. I ended up writing a script that counted all the repositories on Github that contained schematic files for KiCad or EAGLE, and this is what I found: This graph only tracks the popularity of KiCad and EAGLE usage in public repositories on Github, so usage for private repositories is definitely missing.

FindSchematics' mission is to make searching for open-source hardware projects better. What’s the point of a project being open if nobody can find it? Our Tech Stack This site was built on open-source software using: Python Hugo - a static site generator Bokeh - a Python plotting package A backend server is running at DigitalOcean.com to scrape and process data and generate the webpages using Hugo, which are then hosted on a separate DigitalOcean.

The mission of FindSchematics is to help you search through open-source hardware projects. This site is currently focused on indexing projects on GitHub that use KiCad or EAGLE PCB design software. Top Pages KiCad Versus EAGLE Top 25 Kicad Projects Top 25 Eagle Projects About
