Mono has a first class port for android and iOS as a commercial offering. You
are of course free to build mono using the android ndk or the ios gcc toolchain
and glue in your own classes.

eg.

https://github.com/koush/androidmono

Which admittedly is a bit rusty.

With monotouch and mono for android what you really pay for is the integration
with the native frameworks on iOS and android.

I do wish there was a free license for android open source projects though,
