### "Decent product if you are looking for cheaper version of AutoCAD" — 4.0/5

> **John** | *22 May 2025* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: One time purchase \&amp; Direct email for inquiries&#10;Overall the program is decent.&#10;Wish there are less bugs
> 
> **Cons**: Bug/Glitches drive users crazy.&#10;Program needs more polish.&#10;Lots of things are glitched and you have to make sure you have backup folder and save files every 10 min.
> 
> Has same UI as AutoCAD.&#10;Almost Identical Function/Shortcut&#10;Function and Interface wise, there aren't much difference between CAD

### "ActCAD Software" — 5.0/5

> **Alessandro** | *19 December 2024* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: ActCAD offers powerful 2D drafting and 3D modeling tools, supports DWG/DXF formats, and provides perpetual licensing at an affordable cost.
> 
> **Cons**: Please note that ActCAD currently does not offer a complete Italian translation. This may impact usability for Italian-speaking users.
> 
> ActCAD offers a strong combination of powerful 2D drafting and 3D modeling tools, support for DWG/DXF formats, and affordable perpetual licensing. However, it does have some drawbacks, including limited file format support, occasional lag, a steep learning curve for new users, and the lack of a complete Italian translation. Overall, it's a solid choice for professionals, but it may require some patience and adaptation, especially for those looking for comprehensive localization.

> 
> **Pros**: It is an excellent price-quality ratio. The most modern solutions, quick support, quick updates. this is something to pay attention to. It's something that you need every day at work and in business.
> 
> **Cons**: Typo translation, it bothers me. Such a good product should take care of details. This applies to all interface languages except English.
> 
> It offers everything that is much more expensive competition. Working with drawings is efficient thanks to additional applications or proprietary commands. In order to convince the crew to work for themselves in this program.
