What is Cherry Blossom?
Cherry Blossom is an AI-native electronic design platform that automatically designs PCBs end-to-end using an AI agent. Users describe circuits in plain language and the agent handles component selection, layout, and routing, with a 94% first-pass fabrication yield. It works as a standalone EDA integrated with KiCad or connects to existing EDA tools without requiring migration.
Cherry Blossom pricing
Pricing model: Freemium
Starting at $240/year (includes 1M free AI credits/month); pay-as-you-go overages beyond included credits. No per-seat fees. Significantly cheaper than Flux.ai ($7,200/yr) and Altium ($19,975/yr) at equivalent scales.
Cherry Blossom pros
- No per-seat licensing—pay only for AI usage with 1M free monthly credits, saving $6,960–$19,735/year vs. competitors
- Transparent auditing: design rule checks and electrical rule checks run during design with full command transcript visible
- Open file format (Circuit JSON) exports to KiCad, Gerbers, BOM, and pick-and-place; no vendor lock-in
- Cloud-based runs continue executing after you close the laptop; handles complex PCBs competitors struggle with
Cherry Blossom cons
- Requires cloud sandbox execution; no local/offline design option
- AI quality limitations for highly specialized or novel circuit designs not in training data
- Integration depth with closed EDA tools (Altium, Flux) may be limited compared to native support
Frequently asked questions about Cherry Blossom
What file formats and EDA compatibility does Cherry Blossom support?
Exports boards as Circuit JSON (open format), KiCad projects, Gerbers, BOM, and pick-and-place files. Works standalone with KiCad free version or integrates with existing EDA suites via OAuth without migration.
How are design checks performed?
Design rule and electrical rule checks run inside the agent's workspace during the design turn; users see the full transcript of commands and can watch checks pass or fail in real-time.
What is the fabrication yield?
Cherry Blossom reports 94% first-pass fabrication yield across 10k PCBs built to date.
Can I use Cherry Blossom without a credit card?
Yes, you can try it without a credit card or API key; demos and testing are available at no cost.
