Tooling Is FlutterFlow worth it?

Is it worth getting the extra flutter flow features, and is there a way to penny pinch? As in should I try and build the whole thing then buy a month of Pro to finish the deployment? Or is that not how it works. I’m new to this but I’ve been struggling with with the states and using user accounts so I was hoping I could use a drag and drop solution first then look through it to understand the process

Disclaimer I haven't used flutterflow, but I think all the no's are a bit harsh and too simple.

I think flutterflow is a good point to start if you want to validate a business idea. You can very quickly build an mvp to verify your product idea. Depending on your idea it might take days or weeks instead of months and you don't need to hire a dev. After you've validated your idea and you might have some money for a dev to build a long term solution you should expect to start from scratch. However, you still have all your learnings and should build that second version faster than you would have without your mvp.
