Why there is no plan for hobbyists or students

Sure, but the free version of fusion 360 has been handicapped in the QoL aspect of things to the point where, while usable, is just uncomfortable for the sake of being uncomfortable.

It’s also a buggy mess and sometimes struggles doing some basic things. Yeah, it’s free but it’s not the “amazing software” that it was in the early days when they were giving it away with all the features, to be able to get a foothold in the industry that they needed as a new software.

I feel that Shapr3D lays in this really odd place as far as pricing goes. €300/year (because looking at the almost €50/month otherwise, is absolutely pointless) is a steep price for a hobbyist, but then is arguably cheap for a professional when you look at alternatives; half the price of a Fusion annual license. You get a lot and you’re not limited anywhere as far as the software is concerned as a whole. As someone doing the 14 day trial, it’s painful and even €250 would be nicer, but it’s not unmanageable and if it’s something that you need then it would justify itself I reckon.

Something that seems should possibly be considered is regional pricing to even out the cost to subscribers based on where they are.
