New website for comparing PCB prices

[rea5245]

Hi,

I've built a new website, http://PCBShopper.com, for comparing prices to build prototype PCBs. You enter your board's size, layers, preferred solder mask color, and quantity, and it shows you how much it would cost to make at several different PCB manufacturers (in US dollars, including shipping to the US).

There's also a page comparing free CAD programs. Since many of these are crippled versions of commercial programs, I show what limitations they impose.

For both manufacturers and CAD programs, users can write reviews, Amazon-style.

I hope the site will be useful to my fellow electronics hobbyists.

Thanks,  a handy reference.  How about Advanced Circuits, www.4pcb.com?

Hi redwire,

I could include their $33 and $66 service, but unfortunately they won't reveal the pricing algorithm for their barebones service (I asked them). They also don't disclose their shipping costs. I'd love to include them, but I don't think I can.

Well it will be their loss, because that it a handy reference that many will find helpful.
