You can download CircuitMaker for free. Most of the features in Altium can be found in CircuitMaker and they function the same way as in Altium Designer.
Altium offers a free trial. I have no experience with Altium, but my experience with other free trials of commercial software tells me that it will be both time- and feature-limited. Whether the free trial will be useful to you or not? Your mileage will vary. I'm a FOSS guy, so I wouldn't touch Altium with a barge pole; I'm mostly just here for Zach's circuit design and layout videos.
I'd recommend either forking over $2k/year for the standard individual license, or using KiCAD (free and open source). If you have no (or limited) PCB design experience and do not design PCBs professionally, I would go with the free option. Altium pricing is comparable to similarly capable software, and though "high" for an individual hobbyist, the prices certainly aren't exorbitant for a company or professional freelancer.
I want to learn altium, but you put so high prices. 😢
AFAIK Altium still provides student licenses.
