not sure about the majority of the software but I'd recommend FreeCad as an alt to Solidworks

I've heard they're about to hit their 1.0 release sometime in the near future

As a mechanical engineer who spent multiple thousands of hours using SolidWorks, trying to use FreeCAD felt like flying a Cessna 172 after getting used to a Citation jet.

I'm not well versed in planes, is the cessna better or worse?

A 172 is the plane you train to get a beginner license in. 90-120mph max.

Are there any opensource alternatives to these things? Could they save themselves this whole hassle, just get the alternative and cut their budget in half with a yearly donation?
