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.

What you get

Fraction of the cost

EasyPower costs $9,000+ per year. ekx starts free, with paid plans at $27/month (Starter) or $149/user/month (Professional).

Browser-based access

EasyPower is desktop-only. ekx works from any browser, on any device, anywhere.

Less study setup

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 installation required

No downloads, no installation wizard, no compatibility concerns. Open a tab and work.

Auto equipment sizing

Cable, breaker, and transformer sizing per NEC, included — not a separate add-on.

Cloud-based collaboration

Share projects without emailing files. Access your work from any computer.

Frequently asked questions

Can ekx replace EasyPower?

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.

How much can I save vs EasyPower?

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.

Is ekx as capable?

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.

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.
