The one thing this article doesn't even mention is that PhoneGap is free and open source, and Titanium is expensive. Yes, Titanium has a free level, all the other price levels listed on their website are 'Contact Sales'. When I researched this last year, Titanium started just under $100/month and went wayyyy up from there. I've since published an app on Android and iOS using PhoneGap, and was happy with the result. Like any project, it takes a lot of work make it polished and look good.

Titanium is open source also (full source on GitHub), we've forked the SDK and made our own modifications.. From what I know fees are for support and the opportunity for Appcelerator accreditation, which isn't necessary in every case..
The core platform is free and open source. Paid subscriptions cover support and access to proprietary add-on modules. Pricing is unclear on the website, I'm sorry that it still has "contact sales" - but we're still finalizing pricing around per-app support, cloud services pricing, and module access. Will get REAL info out there ASAP, sorry :(
That's what I find confusing about the Titanium web site. No clear specification of what we get for free and what we can do with it. Is the studio free or not ? How does it depend on the could and analytics ?
