Narrative:

I was making a visual approach into ZZZ. I had been making regular traffic calls since I was about 12 miles out on the CTAF. Hearing no one respond I continued my visual approach to set up for runway xx. The winds at the time were a direct crosswind. I continued my descent all the while making traffic calls. As I was just touching down I looked up to see aircraft Y enter the reciprocal runway (XX1) and begin its takeoff roll. I thought about applying power and going airborne again. However; the thought of accelerating toward an oncoming aircraft seemed a worse choice then slamming on the brakes and full reverse on the prop. I was able to slow and exit the runway; aircraft Y did see me at the other end of the runway and aborted its takeoff roll. At the end of it I was able to exit the runway successfully. In the future; at uncontrolled fields I will now overfly the field and rely on visual clearing as a primary means of clearing traffic with the radio/CTAF being second. Especially when the winds at the field do not dictate for certain which runway to use.
