How BoardRepo compares

BoardRepo is where a board lives, is versioned, and is shared. Most of the tools it gets compared to do something else well, so each page below says what the other tool is for and when you would use both.

BoardRepo vs GitHub for KiCad projects

Your board is already in a repository. What the repo shows a visitor, what a BoardRepo page adds, and how the GitHub App keeps the two in step.

BoardRepo vs Altium 365 for sharing PCB designs

Your team designs in Altium. Who needs a licence, what a viewer sees without one, and where the design goes when it has to leave the Altium circle.

BoardRepo vs Hackaday.io for publishing a hardware project

You want people to find and understand your project. The story site and the board viewer answer different questions; here is how to use both.

Not choosing, just learning? The guides cover sharing, versioning and checking a board, and the FAQ answers the short questions.
