No offense, but I'm getting to the point of hating free trials.

Why?

1. Because you're fixed in an arbitrary point of time, which means you have to focus on the free trial above other things, many of which might deliver higher value.

2. If you decide to not use it, it's wasted time. Like a design decision that you don't discover that's a showstopper 40 hours into the trial.

3. 14 days really isn't a good metric to decide if it's worth using your service or not. You may not see real issues until you get at least a month into the service.

4. Anyone who is seriously considering purchasing the service isn't going to bat an eye at the actual cost.
