vs EasyPower

EasyPower capabilities, modern delivery

EasyPower has been a go-to for decades. But at $9,000+ per year with desktop-only access, it's hard to justify when you mainly need short circuit, load flow, and sizing. ekx delivers those three analyses in a browser for a fraction of the price.

Frequently asked questions

Can ekx replace EasyPower?

For short circuit, load flow, and equipment sizing — yes. EasyPower offers additional capabilities like arc flash, protection coordination, and harmonics. If those are critical to your workflow, EasyPower may be needed. For the core three, ekx is faster and far more affordable.

How much can I save vs EasyPower?

EasyPower typically costs $9,000+ per year. ekx Professional is $149/month ($1,788/year). That's roughly 75% savings for the core analyses.

Is ekx as capable?

For short circuit (ANSI/IEC), load flow (Newton-Raphson), and equipment sizing (NEC 2023) — the methods and accuracy are comparable. ekx doesn't cover arc flash, coordination, or harmonics.

Can I try before committing?

Yes. ekx has a free tier with 1 project and 2 buses. Build a system and run studies with no credit card required.
