\"\"<\/div>\n

We\u2019re at a pivotal moment for innovators. As design and make industries evolve, accelerated by advances in AI and a growing demand for connected workflows, our customers and partners need more flexibility, more transparency, and more control over how they access the tools that power their work.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To meet these changing ways of working, Autodesk has simplified and expanded access to our cloud APIs, making it easier to explore them and scale workflows as business needs shift. This evolution builds on the vision we initially shared at AU 2025 <\/span>on mainstage<\/span><\/a>, as well as at our Platform Leadership Forum.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So, what does this mean exactly for our customers?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It means that we\u2019re opening the door for Autodesk customers to experiment with our cloud APIs up to certain limits each month at no additional cost. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It also means we\u2019ve made it easier for customers to build and scale with our trusted cloud APIs\u2014all on their own terms, at their own pace, and with their business needs front and center.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s new: Introducing Autodesk\u2019s flexible model for API access\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Under the new Autodesk Platform Services (APS) offering, customers can continue to use our cloud APIs to power most standard usage through our <\/span>Free tier. <\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If customers choose to scale their cloud API use beyond standard usage, the <\/span>Paid tier<\/strong> offers flexibility to choose how and when they pay: prepaying via Flex tokens, or paying as they go with no upfront commitment.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

More information on usage and pricing can be found <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>, allowing customers to select the tier that best fits their business needs.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why this matters: Creating new and evolving customer value\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Autodesk\u2019s updated APS offering is built on decades of industry expertise and is designed to help customers innovate with confidence while laying the foundation for agentic work of the future. Here\u2019s what users can expect moving forward:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
