No, it is free of charge 🙂

For my part, I followed, I believe, the same links that you have indicated here in Discourse: [1](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/using-julia-on-android-with-userland/58498/24) and/or [2](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/using-julia-on-android-with-userland/58498/24).

I had problems with latest UserLand version, but not with Termux, thanks to @mkitti’s advice.
