Other things worth checking:

I’m also working (slowly) on native Flutter channels:

But this is really targeted at embedded use cases.

Very nice

Do any of these have a good wkwebview equivalent

Yes, web views (backed by WKWebView on iOS and android.webkit.WebView on Android) are one of the Skip modules under active development: https://github.com/skiptools/skip-web

Looks amazing.

As an indie dev who quit my job to try to make it solo, I'll either need to wait until I have more revenue to afford this, or hopefully you add some indie-friendly tier for bootstrapped pricing (such as a discount on team size, or ARR like Apple does with its small business program).

Looks like it is free for your use case. Pricing page[0] shows $0 annual cost for small businesses, which is defined as

> Educational institution, nonprofit, or business/individual with less than 250K USD annual revenue

Will have to try it to see how well it works in practice, but very cool. I can see this being popular for side project apps written by iOS devs that otherwise wouldn’t have an Android port.
