Okay, not completely free, but Ansca Mobile just did something huge — they removed the 30-day limit on the trial version of Corona SDK. That means you can take as long as you want to play with it before actually paying.
You could create an entire game using the simulator and then when it’s done and ready to be submitted to the App Store, pay your money and do a build for your device.

If you haven’t looked at Corona SDK yet and want to create iPhone/iPad/Android games, do yourself a big favor and download it today.
And, to make your development even better, try Corona Project Manager — it works fully even with the trial version of Corona SDK.
Wow, it’s great! I like Corona SDK to make an Android Game 🙂

It’s really great.
But i didn’t get one thing about payment.
I mean after completion of game should i pay to corona for getting approval and submission on app store or what?
Can you let me know a bit on this.
Thanks
Yes, after completion of the game, you have to pay to submit it to the app store…
Xcode (iOS SDK) was a lot better comparatively as it takes only $49 to buy “Xcode” and $99 to submit to store. On Corona it takes $199 to buy it and then $99 additional cost for submitting it to store. $148 for Xcode < $298 for Corona
But Corona is a cross platform SDK, so this is actually better…
See for yourself.. 🙂
