SOLIDWORKS Pricing

“Pricing is comparable to SOLIDWORKS, but SOLIDWORKS is a better value.

SketchUp is a nice tool for quickly sketching something to help visualize an object but it is not practical... … We can pay off a license in just one part for a part for which there are no longer parts available.”

“significantly increasing design productivity reduced design errors improved product quality ultimately a positive ROI through cost savings and enhanced competitiveness.”

“Subscription value for the money. … Great value for the money.”

“The entry point cost is low for the value received, making SOLIDWORKS a great choice for MCAD.”

“It is not a cheap software, however, the cost-benefit we have experienced has been amazing when considering the product quality we have been able to submit.”

“Cost, value and ease of implementation also were factors that led us to make the decision we did. … Positive - easy to use and easy to collaborate with ePDM features High up front cost of features and add-ons for the basic package Easy to learn.”

“SW is very capable and expensive, eDrawings is free and super limited.”

“I didn't get the feeling AutoDesk wanted to help me get better at using their program so I'd purchase it.
The second reason we chose SOLIDWORKS was the payment plan.”

“Pro-E has been around a long time and definitely has it's purposes, but for price, easy of use, and ability to easily find a trained workforce, SOLIDWORKS definitely fits the bill.”

“SOLIDWORKS does get expensive for a startup company like mine, because you have to pay for seats individually until you get to a certain amount of people, and my company does not have enough yet.”

“The licenses are less expensive than other programs.”
