They do '“envisage” offering its services to users in the EU'. That page has a massive ad (700x500 px) suggesting that I buy a subscription for "DKK10 FOR 3 MONTHS".

If offering their service priced in the local currency of an EU member state doesn't constitute offering services to users in the EU, then I'm not sure what could possibly qualify.

I’m not in the EU, so I wouldn’t have seen that. They’re stupid for doing that if that’s the case. If they’re accepting EU currencies, then you are correct that they have subjected themselves to GDPR. Go file a complaint, I assume your country will tag them for millions of euros in a hurry.
