Now the same product is being sold for $100.00 less than what I paid. I purchased a Fusion 360 license at the end of April.less than 3 months ago. Giving design teams of any size and budget an opportunity to explore it has been our vision since inception, as we believe it will be good for everyone.My idea is this: Sell your product at one price point. “Experience and insight put us in a position to dramatically increase access to the technology and invite a much broader swath of Autodesk users to see what’s possible with generative design. “Ranging from Airbus’s Bionic Partition to Hyundai’s Elevate walking car, and including SRAM’s lighter, stiffer bicycle parts, generative design has helped accelerate both futuristic and practical projects by our customers,” he continued. “In the years since we first released generative design, we’ve created efficiencies in the software, optimised in the cloud, and, thanks to input from the community, become insightful about how our customers use the tool,” said Stephen Hooper, VP and general manager of Autodesk Fusion 360. The good news for those interested in the Fusion 360 pricing pay-per-use model is that where Autodesk previously charged 100 cloud credits to do anything useful with a resultant model (export, conversion to t-splines and so on), this practice has been abandoned entirely. The latest update sees Autodesk slash some prices dramatically, down to $1,600 for the all-you-can-eat subscription (or $200 per month), but bump up the price on pay-per-use, with compute costs now at 33 cloud credits (equivalent to $33), up from 25 credits previously.

The company has experimented with several pricing models for its cloud-based generative design exploration tools – pay-per-use, pay-per-compute, pay-per-result and more recently, introducing a pretty costly all-you-can-eat subscription model with its Generative Design Extension, coming in at $8,000 per year.

Autodesk has announced some significant changes to its pricing of Fusion 360 generative design tools.
