But it’s five euros (!!) to test it for a month?! Do you know how much it costs to run a project like this? As far as I know, there’s no massive funding behind this one and it’s an extremely small team (compared to Kagi/DDG…), so offering a free trial might just not be feasible for them.

I’m not affiliated with the project / the Devs at all, but I really think 5€/month is close enough to a free trial…

Yeah the team is one developer and his wife. I’m fine with sliding them a few euros

You're more than welcome to think whatever you want and throw away money however you fancy. As long as I'll have to put in any kind of effort to earn said 5 euros I will consider them not free.

And, no, that doesn't mean I won't be spending money with them (you should read my whole comment before jumping to any conclusion, or feeling entitled to tell me how I must spend my money), just that I don't think this is the best effing trial there could be to invite people to test a products that is free everywhere else. And that I more unlikely to test it in those conditions. I had a similar discussion with Kagi a few years ago... Kagi, once again please read my entire comment, I was effing happily paying for as a user.
