Thank you for the feedback.

Interestingly enough I did have a free option before.

As you pointed out, the feature set in the free version felt so limiting and it added a lot of complexity in the application itself as well that I decided to get rid of it. There is also the school of thought about how paying customers are important to validate the idea compared to customers not paying.

I hesitated a while on the duration of the free trial period and you're right 14 days is probably too short to really evaluate a budgeting solution. A budget takes time tailoring anyway.

Pricing was mostly done based on competition, it's difficult to gauge the actual cost per user without any users other than myself. I'm forecasting the main cost to be on Plaid (though right now that'd be for US and CA only)

Out of curiosity, do you use a self-hosted or desktop personal finance solution? If so which one?

This is definitely something I loved about desktop YNAB.
