No one is mentioning how expensive Xamarin is and there is no proper free version.

In the free version you app expires after 24 hours AND it has to be below a certain size, I dont remember maybe 2 MB or something.

To make something you have to cough up a lot of money, and the sad part is this information is incredibly hard to find, you only stumble upon it when you download GBs of files.

That's not true anymore, Xamarin is now free for everyone, except larger companies, see https://blog.xamarin.com/xamarin-for-all/

This is 1 year+ old information. Go look at the pricing page for a pleasant surprise.

Hi, from Xamarin here - what page are you referring to? Community is free, there are a few extra features that come with VS Enterprise. Those are just nice-to-haves, like other VS enterprise features. You can develop with Xamarin for free.

My point exactly. :)
