I'm doing all my mobile Apps (Android, iOS) with Qt (QtQuickControls2)
and really like Qt. (compared with Flutter, ReactNative, Xamarin, etc)

As a single developer (Freelancer) I'm using the Start-Up License
(99$/Month)

the info about the startup license is something hidden on the web sites:
https://www1.qt.io/start-up-plan/


presenting my apps to other devs at conferences or so there's always a
"wow" effect, because of UI/UX and performance of even very complex apps.

the problem is the license.

developers looking at Qt site always think they must pay ~500 EUR as
independent devs which is too much compared with other frameworks

even the Startup License isn't easy to do


this is frustrating: knowing that Qt is great for mobile apps, but
there's a license cost barriere


I'm really waiting for a 30 EUR or so Indiependent Dev License.

I know from discussions that in the past there already was such kind of
license with less success.

But in the past there were no QtQuickControls2 and HighDPI support.
(Both was the reason why I started developing mobile Apps with Qt)
