I see Onshape has a free tier with some features missing (such as simulation). Also "all data is saved in a public workspace".
I am willing to pay for software but all CAD software seems to offer subscription only that is quite expensive (the Standard tier of Onshape is about 150 Euros a month). I'd love to have something like the former Sketchup and would pay 200 or even 300 Euro to "own" the software.
Something like doesn't seem to exist anymore and therefore I am biting the bullet and learn FreeCAD although I gave up on it at least once. The videos by "Adventures in creation" are quite good I think, e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M_lDwWaB4Jc
Problem with onshape is that most computation is done in the cloud and the free has been throttled a lot the last year or so imo, so you just constantly wait for sketches or extrusions to open or changes to apply. A minute or more sometimes.
