Please, please, please stop listening to random engineers who aren't marketing people provide advice about marketing.

Your business needs paying customers.

That being said...the parent comment does make a valid point about this potentially being a dark pattern. I think a reasonable disclosure (small txt on bottom "free trial for 14 days" or something like that) is probably a reasonable way to inform users.

GP is explicitly not interested in giving marketing advice. They're objecting to being tricked and manipulated.

You know not everyone here is an engineer, right? Many marketers, designers, product people, and even engineers who do all of these things well.
