Very cool tool. Almost 2 decades ago, I learnt Principles of Digital Design in the university using EWB (Electronics Workbench), then known as Multisim. It's Windows only. Then a friend pointed me to Logisim, which also runs well on Linux. Unfortunately, the development was suspended, which lead to various forks like: - https://github.com/lbulej/fork-logisim-evolution - https://github.com/Logisim-Ita/Logisim - https:…
It ended up being one of my favourite courses of all my undergrad courses

How does LogiSim compare to KiCad or LTSpice?
LTSpice is for simulating analog circuits, particularly power electronics.
KiCAD is a schematic design and layout tool, it's for designing printed circuit boards.
So it's a bit of an apples:lettuce:walnuts comparison. They're all for different categories of thing, though all deal with some sort of circuit in some sense.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Ah Logisim, brings back fond memories of creating a RISC-V CPU for CS61C at UC Berkeley.

Since you seem knowledgable on the subject, do you know of any open source or cheap integrated circuit simulators and/or design tools?

LTSpice for windows. Spice3f5/ngspice for unix
