Felgo review
A freemium Qt-based IDE with visual design, hot reload and cloud delivery tools.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Felgo is a cross-platform development SDK based on Qt for building mobile, desktop, web, embedded applications and games. It targets teams working across Android, iOS, Windows, macOS and Linux, with QML and JavaScript as the main development languages and optional C++ or native platform code. Developers can work in Qt Creator or the browser-based Felgo Cloud IDE, while the platform provides visual UI design, native components, responsive layouts and packaging support.
The published plans show a freemium structure with a free Personal plan covering the App Development SDK, mobile and desktop core platforms, QML hot reload, Cloud Builds CI/CD and 60+ project templates. Startup costs €79 per developer per month when billed annually and adds web platforms and email support. Business costs €245 per developer per month on annual billing and adds embedded platforms alongside the other listed capabilities. Teams should compare target platforms and support needs against these plan boundaries before choosing a tier.
Felgo’s strongest fit is for cross-platform teams that want Qt Creator tooling alongside cloud delivery and a browser-based workflow. Its integrations include Google Firebase, AdMob, Chartboost, OneSignal, Facebook, Game Center, Amplitude and Apple Sign In, while plugins cover analytics, advertising, notifications, social services and in-app purchases. QML hot reload on connected devices, cloud-based builds and app distribution can support a shared mobile and desktop workflow. Choose Felgo when QML, Qt and multi-platform delivery are central; consider an alternative if web or embedded targets must fit a lower-cost plan or if the project does not need Qt-based development.
