You getting AutoMAD?
Yep welcome to software “subscription model”. It’s happening everywhere. Software makers are living it up these days.
Even Microsoft office is subscription now, but a lot less. Businesses pay Autodesk happily. My work does the same with Altium.
Just the cost of doing business. If the product either saves you money or makes you money, it has value. And I imagine if you need Autocad, it's very likely making you money.. 😂
Yeah when building plans seem to start at about 5k and can get in excess of 50k for some houses then I don't think $2400 for Autocad is too bad.
@Arch9896: Once you get to big tier companies it’s charged per hour, think it’s like $10 or something from memory. I’m at a mid tier so we pay the subscription fees, but with million dollar high ways we do it doesn’t really matter the sub price.
If I was doing free lance work it would for sure though 😂
While I understand and agree with all the replies to this, mostly that it's a small cost but provides a lot of value, I guess the point I was making was that this model is new. It wasn't long ago that businesses, who do the same as now, and charge relatively just as much, could buy AutoCAD for $5k for a perpetual licence. Buy once, use for 5 years then pay Autodesk something to upgrade to the next version. Anyway it seems to work for all involved.
Its just the new model of Software as a Service (SaaS).
Companies are doing it under the guise of free updates/cloud backups/ease of use blah blah blah.
But its mostly about vendor lock-in, always on connections (or regular verification), harvesting user data, and preventing "piracy".

As someone who could use AutoCAD/Revit but not day in/out, the pricing tells me to go with the far cheaper options. Just providing some feedback but they are the best in the game products.
Let me know if you’re interested in an alternative
You’re better of getting the full version of AutoCAD, the LT version has a lot of handy features missing.
What !!!!!!
Does it include company shares ?
