ETAP alternative FAQ

Is Electrisim a good ETAP alternative?

For many day-to-day studies — load flow, short circuit, OPF, harmonics, and dynamics — yes. Electrisim uses pandapower, OpenDSS, and ANDES. It is not a 1:1 replacement for every specialized ETAP module, but it covers core network analysis at a much lower price.

How much does Electrisim cost compared to ETAP?

Cloud Personal is $10/month, Company $40/user/month, cancel anytime. A free open-source Community Edition is also available. ETAP is usually sold as an enterprise license.

Can I run Electrisim offline?

Yes. Deploy the Community Edition from GitHub locally, or use the browser cloud app with zero install.
