Comparing Fusion360 & Tinkercad: Pros & Cons

[fog37]

TL;DR Summary

TK and Fusion360, both are cloud-based software.

Hello,
I am looking forward to using Fusion360 after having used Tinkercad for a while. Tinkercad is a fully cloud based and the STL files are/can be stored locally on our computer (STL files are not stored in the cloud).

Fusion 360 is also fully cloud-based. However, I installed a Fusion360 app on my pc. Is the app I downloaded just a client that communicates with the actual Fusion360 software via the internet connection?
Could I use Fusion360 without downloading that app and just via the browser as I do with Tinkercad? I believe so. I feel like the client app I downloaded is quite slow...

Thanks for any comment.

Yes, you can use Fusion 360 without downloading the app. You can access it using your web browser. The app you downloaded is just a client that communicates with the actual Fusion360 software from your internet connection. It is possible that the app is slower than the web browser version, but the app should provide you with more features and better performance in certain scenarios.
