Autodesk Configurator 360 is a cloud-based product configurator integrated with Autodesk Inventor that published rule-driven models to web and mobile interfaces and produced updated CAD deliverables such as 3D views and engineering drawings.

Because Configurator 360 is retired, the practical comparison is between legacy C360 and modern alternatives for web-based configuration and CAD output workflows.
| Starting Price | Legacy/unclear; renewals seen via third parties (not authoritative) | Published usage- or plan-based pricing available from the vendor | Pricing typically available via resellers/quotes (often license + services) |
| Typical fit | Legacy Inventor-centric catalogs created historically | Teams that need control and can build/maintain software | SOLIDWORKS-centric manufacturers seeking packaged design automation/CPQ |
| Key advantage | Tight integration with Inventor-based workflows historically | Extensibility: custom UI and workflows; broad API ecosystem | Mature rules/configuration patterns and packaged approach |
| Key limitation | Retired; not viable for new deployments; limited UI historically | Requires engineering resources; cloud cost and operational complexity | Tied to SOLIDWORKS ecosystem; licensing and services costs |
