Can anyone say if at any time it is necessary to pay for using Xamarin? If even developing free apps it is necessary to pay?
If you are an app that is part of a service, but the app is free, you need some license or something like that?
The Unreal Engine for example is free, but a part of the profit obtained with the software developed with it should be passed on to Epic Games, with Xamarin there is something like this?

Not completely. It’s part of Visual Studio now, so if you have a Visual Studio license you can use Xamarin.
Visual Studio Community is free and can be used by individual developers, project developers open-source (for the development of these projects), academic projects/research, for educational purposes and companies with a small development team.
If you fit into one of these items, then Yes, Xamarin is free for you.

A part that is interesting:
Visual Studio now includes Xamarin.
Xamarin will be in all versions of Visual Studio (from the date of the post), including in the Community version (probably the most used), which is free for individual developers, open-source projects, academic research, educational purposes and small professional teams.
You can develop and publish iOS and Android apps made with C# or F# directly with Visual Studio, no app size limits.
On the link has much more information, it is worth taking a look.
VC Community is not the same as Enterprise. See the comment in the question.
@bigown From what I understand of the answer, he refers to the version of Xamarin and not to Visual Studio.
But it’s not exactly the same. Enterprise has more Xamarin stuff.
