>Why would it be that cheap? Fusion 360 is competing with SolidWorks.

I wouldn't really say that's true. Inventor is really Autodesk's competitor to Solidworks. Fusion seems like it's competing more with hobbyist tools like Sketch-Up, and maybe open source tools like FreeCAD & OpenSCAD.

FreeCAD is nowhere close to the quality level of Fusion.

Sketch-Up and OpenSCAD are just very different from Fusion.

The closest cloud competitor is OnShape: starts at $1500 per year - only free option is public storage.
