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.
What you get
EasyPower costs $9,000+ per year. ekx starts free, with paid plans at $27/month (Starter) or $149/user/month (Professional).
EasyPower is desktop-only. ekx works from any browser, on any device, anywhere.
EasyPower requires you to set up each study. In ekx, load flow and sizing update as you build, and short circuit runs in one click.
No downloads, no installation wizard, no compatibility concerns. Open a tab and work.
Cable, breaker, and transformer sizing per NEC, included — not a separate add-on.
Share projects without emailing files. Access your work from any computer.
What ekx does differently than EasyPower
EasyPower is a comprehensive desktop suite. ekx focuses on the three analyses engineers use most often, and delivers them in a faster, more accessible format.
- Short circuit, load flow, and equipment sizing in the browser
- Load flow updates as you build; short circuit takes one click
- Equipment sizing per NEC included at no extra cost
- Access from any device with an internet connection

For short circuit, load flow, arc flash, and equipment sizing, often yes. ekx plots protection device curves and runs harmonic design checks, but EasyPower offers full protection coordination studies. If those are critical to your workflow, EasyPower may be needed. For the core analyses, ekx is faster and far more affordable.
EasyPower typically costs $9,000+ per year. ekx Professional is $149/user/month, or $1,490/user/year billed yearly. That's roughly 75% savings for the core analyses.
For short circuit (IEC 60909), load flow (Newton-Raphson), arc flash (IEEE 1584-2018), equipment sizing (NEC 2026), and harmonic design checks (IEEE 519-2022), the methods are comparable. ekx doesn't do full protection coordination studies.
Yes. ekx has a free tier with 1 project and 2 buses. Build a system and run studies with no credit card required.
