Offer Different Paid Options Please!

BuilderX — Sun, 23 May 2021 17:54:32 GMT

I think that Autodesk should offer different paid options for Fusion 360. I use Fusion for personal use, but would like to be able to design a part once in a while for a potential product. However that does not justify $500 a year for a subscription.

If there was a paid option(reduced) for a full functioning Fusion 360 as a hobbyist or startup level like their used to be for free, I would pay today to have it. If large commercial company making potentially millions of dollars from the software only need to pay $500, maybe we as small producers could pay $100 or something, but still have full access.

In fact I believe you would get a load more business from people who use the free Fusion for personal use, who would pay $100 a year to have the fully functioning software. Not saying to get rid of the limited functioning free Fusion, but just add an option to pay $100 or so for a fully featured Fusion for people who just want all the features for personal use, or want to use the software to make a few parts, but don't make much money from it. You could even go back to the limited income from it, such as $10,000 or something.

Hi,

Thanks for posting.

Is your concern about violating the EULA for the free account by making a product?
Or is your concern regarding the toolset available for Free users?
Do you qualify for the startup license?

Goodness, I am sorry for my slow response. Yes it would be nice to have the fully featured software as well as the ability to use it for the occasional project that might be for sale. I should be able to do the startup license, I just thought that having a lower cost paid Hobby subscription for the fully functioning software would be a nice option.

BTW, I cannot apply for the startup as I just get an error.
