*** [[FreeStyle Router]] (aka ''SpeedWay'', a [[DOS]]-based autorouter for [[P-CAD]])<!-- since 1997 (possibly 1991 or 1996) -->

*** [[TopoR#Features|TopoR]] (a [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]]-based autorouter, also used in [[Eremex]]'s Delta Design)<!-- since 2003 (possibly 2001 or 2002) -->

*** [[Toporouter]] (Anthony Blake's open-source router in [[PCB (software)|PCB]] of the [[gEDA suite]])<!-- since 2008 -->

*** [[TopRouter]] (the topological pre-router in [[CadSoft Computer|CadSoft]]/[[Autodesk]]'s [[EAGLE 7.0]] and higher)<!-- since 2014 -->
