Micro-Cap Alternatives

Micro-Cap is described as 'Integrated schematic editor and simulator. Dynamic analysis updates waveforms and curves as you edit Native digital simulator Worst Case analysis to find the statistical and extreme limits of performance Smoke Analysis to assess how close the circuit is to violating maximum opera' and is a circuit simulator in the education & reference category. There are more than 25 alternatives to Micro-Cap for a variety of platforms, including Windows, Linux, Mac, Web-based and Flathub apps. The best Micro-Cap alternative is KiCad, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Micro-Cap are Circuit JS, QUCS, LibrePCB and LTspice.
