Interesting. How does the Qt approach compare to Mono for mobile development?

I presume Qt apps use Qt's built-in UI rendering, with QML for any UI-logic. Slightly different to MVVM in Mono where you recreate native UI's on each platform, but also hopefully means you only need to create the UI once?

Yes, you can either use QML or C++.

$149 per month, yikes! And people say that Xamarin is expensive.

$1899 / 12 = $158.25

The more comparable license from Xamarin would be the $999 license, which works out to be $999 / 12 = $83.25
