New pricing on Fusion is OUTRAGEOUS

[katANU42]

I primarily use other CAD programs (SketchUp, Shapr3D) because AutoCAD has always been WAY too expensive, but I’d seen some YouTube folks using Fusion360 and decided to give it a try.  I’m a CAD trainer and thought I could add this to my tool belt.  

AND THEN I SAW THE PRICING. $85 a MONTH?  $680 a YEAR?  

NOPE.  I thought $300 a year for SketchUp and $349 a year for Shapr3D was steep.  I might consider paying the same for Fusion.  At $680 a year, or even $85 a month, I’ll pass.  Where to you give feedback to Autodesk?  Never mind…they’ve always been greedy.  I knew Fusion360 was too good to be true…they’ve gone back to their roots and are charging way too much.

You do know we offer a Personal License (for free) that gives you almost all the same tools as Commercial, right?

It's strange that there are always promotions of 30% off just like that. If you have to renew the license at that moment, it's perfect. sometimes only applies to new licenses if I understood correctly. But if you pay the full price and a week later they make a special promo of 30% off...you feel a bit ripped off. Anyways. Nobody makes us buy the Fusion. Still, maybe the best choice of CAD&CAM for money/ what you get in return. R&D will make a lathe simulation in the future. Maybe is worth the extra money for standard features in the machine simulation.
