We find that it saves at least 30 minutes for most parts, since it automatically configures the symbols, defines their electrical characteristics, completes the symbol-to-footprint mappings, and links them to verified footprints.
That being said, InstaBuild is just a small feature of SnapEDA, a website used by over 60,000 registered electrical engineers around the world to download ready-to-use symbols and footprints. Our goal is that InstaBuild will become obsolete as our database or ready-to-use models becomes comprehensive.
And yes! We do have plugins for PCB design tools available at https://www.snapeda.com/plugins.
