We're gauging the demand for a trial version at the moment and may decide to offer one if we find that many users are surprised by things not working as expected after purchasing the app (e.g. certain accounts not working, things that were unclear in the marketing, etc.)

To add a data point, I'm not going to give a chat app (a small utility, but an important one that I'd be willing to pay for) a second thought at $10 without a trial.

I'm perfectly happy with Adium right now. If you want my $10, there better be a trial to convince me to switch.

Echoing a third time - for any consideration on my machine, I'm going to need to take it for a test drive. $10 is non-trivial, and Adium is still more functional and already on my machine (oh, and free). I really do want to take your app for a drive, though. Please, please release a trial. Make it as short as three days - I'll use it enough to know if it's worth the money by then.
