KiCad. Stay away from closed-source tools. They'll all try to press out the max amount of money sooner or later. Or get bought and discontinued for eliminating competition.

I would recomment to try Kicad for this. It is free and should do just what you want.
Yeah! I tried it years back, and it was not so good.
Fast forward to this month. I try it again and am really impressed! It's great now!
I was using it on client work within hours.
Another Kicad vote here. Note that even if you don't like it and move away from it eventually, the fact that it's open-source and the file format is documented means you're capable of taking your designs with you.
KiCAD is good and has no vendor lock-in.
There are very good beginner tutorials and videos explaining typical workflows.
It features also stuff like auto-routing, error checking, part lists and 3D previews.
I use Altium Designer and KiCAD. KiCAD isn't as good by just a hair but makes up for it by being free and open-source. Altium Designer is also crazy expensive for hobbyists.
