Is there any free or low cost tool for drawing sequence diagrams?

Question

I have been using Visual Studio ultimate to draw sequence diagrams. Visual Studio sequence diagrams are quite easy to work with and I am much more productive compare to drawing them in Visio.

However, Visual Studio Ultimate is quite expensive. Is there any free or low budget tool for drawing sequence diagrams?

Thank you,

An alternative I like to use is yEd : https://www.yworks.com/en/products/yfiles/yed/. However I did not try sequence diagrams with it so far. — Grebu, Nov 02 '15 at 18:36
Can recommend yEd too. But try your luck on softwarerecs at stack exchange because your question is more on topic there — Marged, Nov 02 '15 at 18:40
If you want the ultimate low budget tool, then go for UMLet http://www.umlet.com/ — Peter Uhnak, Nov 02 '15 at 21:58

Yes Allan , IBM provides its Rational Software for all types of diagrams including sequence diagram. They provide free trial of that. Even for most of the university students, they provide it free for academic sessions. Check this link
