Top-rated for **Likelihood to recommend**. ----- ## Overview ### Key benefits of Onshape All design steps are recorded, creating an audit trail of changes, and previous design versions can be restored to compare variations and recover from mistakes. When modeling parts, users can directly resize holes and fillets, move or replace faces, delete surfaces, and simultaneously edit multiple parts. Custom features can be created using Onshape’s open-source programming language, FeatureScript. Onshape’s assembly modeling capabilities include assembly restructuring, in-context editing of parts, mechanical relations definition, snap mating, dynamic assembly motion, and more. Onshape can read and write files in a range of formats, including SOLIDWORKS®, Rhinoceros®, and Autodesk AutoCAD® data, and allows users to store data in any file format within documents, with native viewing of TXT, PDF, JPEG, PNG, MOV, and MP4 files. ## Quick Stats & Ratings | Metric | Rating | Detail | | **Overall** | **4.5/5** | 357 Reviews | | Ease of Use | 4.5/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Customer Support | 4.7/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Value for Money | 4.6/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Features | 4.1/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Recommendation percentage | 90% | (9/10 Likelihood to recommend) | ## About the vendor - **Company**: PTC - **Location**: Needham, US - **Founded**: 1985 ## Commercial Context - **Starting Price**: US$1,500.00 - **Pricing model**: Per User (Free version available) (Free Trial) - **Pricing Details**: Onshape's Standard plan for individuals is $1,500 per user, per year.

Super convenient\! Especially when working on Linux where other software packages are unavailable. I find that Onshape has all the features and functionality I've ever needed, and the best part is I don't have to take up space on my computer with expensive software\! > > **Cons**: Sometimes the features are a bit tricky to find and use. I often have to google and look through forums to figure out how to accomplish a particular design. > > I love Onshape. I now use it exclusively for all my 3D printing projects because of its accessibility. And it's free\! ----- ### "Best Cloud Native CAD Experience" — 5.0/5 > **Brad** | *17 November 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Fast implementation and cloud native. We are a company that exists in 2D CAD and our transition to 3D has been very straightforward. After a few weeks of training we can get any of our users up to speed and designing our products. We are now natively integrated with our ERP and our time to production ins monumentally faster. > > **Cons**: It's missing some features the larger CAD software has, such as a not robust plugin system. Most integrations require vast implementation costs compared to counterparts. > > Being able to hand a fresh CAD user Onshape and they can turn around and understand our product immediately has proven to be exactly what we needed to make our company move in the right direction ----- ### "Fairly easy to use after a lot of training. Extremely frustrating at times. Sad emoji." — 3.0/5 > **Jeremy** | *15 February 2018* | Mechanical or Industrial Engineering | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: The fastener mate command is useful. I also like the documentation set up. It makes it easy to find parts specific to an assembly I create. They finally implemented the configuration option which is helpful. That is about it though > > **Cons**: I do not like part studio set up. Inserting parts into a part studio get extremely frustrating when I insert said part studio into an assembly and it inserts all the parts in the part studio without their orientation towards each other and they do not follow the tramsform command. It also inserts the parts individually. I also loathe that when (about 20% of the time) I make a drawing for an assembly it does not transfer all the information and will add lines that are not there and omit lines that should be there. From a production stand point this is impossible to work around and makes our documentation look like a joke. Their customer service told me they are working on it over 2 months ago and it still happens and then they told me I needed to remove all the hardware (about 100 pieces) one at a time until i found the culprit. They also told me to leave it out in the drawing which also doesn't work for me. The branching of workflows is also frustrating when multiple people are working on something and the document will not allow a merge. The document ends up being left and no one knows which branch is active. > > none that i could not get in a more professional software ----- ### "Happy Onshape user" — 5.0/5 > **Piotr** | *28 July 2026* | Medical Devices | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Almost never crashes, no lost data Great versioning / branching / merging Very clean interface, easy to use > > **Cons**: You can't work offline Sometimes it takes too long to open a project and then you have to refresh the browser 3Dconnexion mouse sometimes does not work > > I am not going back to Solidworks ever again. The whole team at our company loves the software and recommends it ----- ### "User since the beginning and I still think this is the best product out there" — 5.0/5 > **Stewart** | *17 November 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have been a customer since since the first or second week it went into beta many years ago. I have watched it change and improve over the years. All my design work is for 3-D printed parts, so there are certainly a lot of features that I have looked at, but have no direct need for. I have found it much easier to edit from the web interface on my Mac then on an iPad, but I like the fact that when I need to show something, I can quickly login to the app and just hand the person my iPad to look at the part. Seamless integration and I have even at times worked on a part from both interfaces briefly and found that everything just happens as you would expect. And of course I’m going to make the pitch that the users who mistakenly just have a “free“ account are missing out. I have had a professional account since the day they started charging and I have had no regrets in paying for it every month. This is a superior product and is well worth the money. have taught a number of classes to associates as well as the general public at the local maker spaceover the years in basic 3-D modeling design, and the ability to share a “class“ folder with people who have just signed up for free accounts is wonderful. I always encourage them to strongly consider paying for the professional account. > > **Cons**: It tends to get confused about what was most recently opened, and I wish there were a way to tag and catalog classifications of parts and search for them rather than just by the name. Of course this feature may exist, and I’m just not aware of it. :-) > > During Covid, I went several years where I was not doing any updates to things, but I kept my account active. Relearning it after a couple of years was quick and easy. The interface is certainly user-friendly for designers. I would not use any other product unless I was forced to. ----- Page: 1 / 16\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/109167/onshape?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.co.uk/software/109167/onshape) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
