I fully agree with you. I am fully convinced by Qt, I wanted to go with Qt,
but the price was too high.
On the website, it is not said anywhere the price for a startup. I
understood it gave only the right to develop until the go live (like an
extended demo version).

at 30 euros, I would not even think (and I would switch immediately).
