Today, I’m sharing an important milestone for Autodesk’s platform evolution, as well as our developer community: the new Autodesk Platform Services business model is officially live. This update is all about making it easy for you – our innovators – to access and scale your use of APS APIs with clarity, control, and confidence.
As our industries rapidly evolve, driven by automation, connectivity, and AI, we know the need for business models and tools that keep pace. This launch reflects our commitment to meeting those needs and enabling the next generation of intelligent, agentic workflows.
You can read more about what’s new here on our APS Business Model Evolution blog, as well as our corporate ADSK News blog.
For our developer readers, however, here are my three main takeaways:
-
Experiment freely: We know that innovation happens when you’re free to try new things. So, under the new model, you can explore APS APIs every month up to certain limits at no additional cost.
-
Scale on your terms: When you’re ready to scale your API usage, the new model is ready to support you–on your terms, at your pace, and with your business needs front and center. Prepay with Flex tokens for predictability, or Pay-As-You-Go for flexibility: the choice is yours.
-
Real-time visibility: With dashboards and analytics through our new developer hub, you get visibility into your API usage. Manage your team and optimize your workflows, with full transparency.
We’re thrilled to see what you’ll build next. And remember, we’re here to help along the way. For questions, resources, or support, visit our Support page. For those who want to dive even deeper, check out our corporate ADSK News blog.
I look forward to diving into our next chapter of innovation with you at Autodesk DevCon 2026 – coming to Amsterdam April 15-17 – our premier conference for business innovators and developers solving our industry challenges in new ways for better outcomes
