And that site is precisely why Fusion is eating Solidworks for breakfast.
Getting solid pricing information from that is impossible. "Contact Sales" is a dead stop in this day and age ... sorry.
Fusion 360 is $545 annually even for commercial usage. It's right on the first damn page.
As for the "maker" edition, that edition of Solidworks nominally stops if you make $2,000. Most people will blow past that in a hurry. Most woodworkers pass that on one piece of furniture.
I think at least in my case I dropped fusion360 when they decided they weren't going to support the last windows machine in my house capable of running it (aka an old win7 machine). I again tried to use freeCAD, but ended up Atom3d, which is probably a better choice for the kinds of CAD stuff I was doing which was 100% stuff for my 3d printer, most of which were simple boxes with holes, standoffs, and the like for random PCBs. I mean I should be able to do that with freecad, but if it takes me another 20 hours to figure out how to make it work, its not been worth my time vs just paying for the base atom3d license (which is like $150/200 for a perpetual license).
Kicad though, 100% its not perfect, but its good enough for anything i'm doing.
Oh, I'm with you about Solidworks. I'm also not a fan of the kind of pricing, approach, etc that Solidworks has.
Also not at all a fan of Autodesk though, having used Fusion 360 from shortly after it came out. It's lack of working 5-axis CNC support (in any tier) was a turn off, especially when I was building a 5th axis for my (very hobby level) CNC system.
Then they moved CNC into a newly created commercial tier, then they put the 2&3 axis CNC stuff back into standard hobby tier, but leaving the 4&5 axis stuff in commercial tier.
No idea if their 4&5 axis stuff even works properly yet, and I've personally lost interest in the "maker" side of things in the meantime.
