There is no board size limit with DipTrace. The ''Freeware'' edition has all features and libraries of the full package , except with a limitation of 300 pins, 2 signal layers and is for non-profit use only. Power and ground can have their own layers, which are not counted. ''DipTrace Starter'' has the same limitations but professional use is allowed, and it costs about the same as any budget software. ''DipTrace Lite'', the pin limit is increased to 500 pins, 2 signal layers and is still low cost. ''DipTrace Full'' is unlmited and costs less than the Professional version of [[CadSoft EAGLE]].<ref>[http://diptrace.com/buy/online-store/ DipTrace Store]</ref><ref name="dp">[http://dangerousprototypes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3423 Eagle or DipTrace], DangerousPrototypes.com forum, Jan. 2012</ref>
