Autodesk stopped selling perpetual AutoCAD licenses back in 2016. Since then, if you want to keep using AutoCAD, you keep paying — every year, forever, whether or not you're actively drawing.
|
|
That's where BricsCAD, an AI-powered CAD platform built on the same industry-standard DWG format, changes the equation — nothing about switching costs you your files, your commands, or your muscle memory.

See how it stacks up below:
|
| AutoCAD |
BricsCAD |
| |
| Subscription only — access ends the day you stop paying |
Perpetual option — pay once, own that version forever |
| |
| Native DWG format |
Native DWG format — 100% compatible, nothing to convert |
| |
| Limited 3D constraints — full parametric modeling usually needs a separate tool like Inventor |
Full 2D and 3D parametric + direct modeling built into the same license |
| |
| Regularly recommends higher-spec hardware for smooth performance |
Runs smoothly even on older, lower-spec machines — no forced hardware upgrade |
| |
| AI drafting tools only in the full subscription tier, not LT |
AI tools like Blockify and Quad Cursor included in every edition, even Lite |
|
|
On price: a BricsCAD perpetual license typically runs about half of a yearly AutoCAD subscription — and that's before you factor in what you'd otherwise keep paying every year after.
