It looks like Fusion 360 will now be free to students for 3 years, free for "hobbyists" for 1 year, and after that the subscription price will be $60 per month (for pay by month), or $495 per year for an annual subscription. I very rarely use Fusion 360 for any of my projects, but I do like the adaptive clearing tool paths which none of the other more traditional CAM programs seem to provide. I have been using Fusion 360 for about 2 years under their free for startups under 100k category. It looks like I will need to change to the hobbyist category at the end of the year, get one more year at no charge, then would need to pay the $495 annual subscription fee to continue to use it. I doubt I will continue with a paid subscription at that price. I would consider paying maybe half of that. It's not something I need to have, but it is fun to play with.
