Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Autodesk Fusion at Free against G's $1.99. Autodesk Fusion also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.0) and update cadence (monthly vs every 37 months). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Autodesk Fusion ships an update monthly, G every 37 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
