What do you get for free?
Free in Condui is not a trial of a few days. You can draw, validate and keep a complete diagram without paying.
- Unlimited local projects on your own device.
- Drawing with AREI symbols in the one-wire diagram, situation plan and board view.
- AREI checks while you draw, in local projects too.
- With a free account: one cloud project with all premium features except templates.
- Downloading the full editable project to keep yourself.
What are the limits?
Local projects live only on your device. They have no cloud sync, online sharing, comments, version history or date marking. PDF export from a local project is limited and carries a watermark. Some professional features, such as advanced import and a logo or signature on the PDF, require a premium project.
For a single home, the free cloud project is usually enough. It includes all premium features, so also a PDF without watermark for the inspector.

When do you pay?
Only when you need more than one project with premium features. For an occasional extra project you unlock a single project once. If you draw diagrams regularly, as an electrician or installer, a subscription gives unlimited cloud projects and templates. Amounts are on the pricing page.
A project you unlock once stays unlocked. If you stop a subscription, your cloud projects stay available read-only, so you can still view and download them.
Free Condui or a general drawing program?
You can also draw a one-wire diagram in a general free drawing program such as draw.io, or in free CAD software. That costs nothing, but you have to find the AREI symbols, keep the numbering yourself and draw the situation plan separately. Nothing is checked.
Condui is built for Belgian one-wire diagrams. The one-wire diagram and situation plan stay linked and you get feedback while you draw. See the guide how to draw a one-wire diagram.
Can you lose your data?
No. You can download every project, local or cloud, as a full editable file. Do this for local projects in particular: they live only in your browser or device storage and disappear if that storage is cleared.
Installed as a web app, Condui also works offline. Open it online at least once; after that you can edit local projects without internet.
Frequently asked questions
- Is Condui really free?
- Yes. Local projects are free and unlimited, including drawing and AREI checks. A free account also gives you one cloud project with all premium features except templates.
- Is a free project good enough for the inspection?
- Use your free cloud project for the inspection. It exports a PDF without watermark. A local project is fine for drawing and checking, but the watermark and limited export can get in the way.
- Do I need an account?
- Yes, you create a free account. Local projects then stay on your own device.
- Can I upgrade later without starting over?
- Yes. You unlock an existing project or take a subscription. Your drawing stays the same.
