14 days of fucking around inside the app, customizing it, testing it against your workflow, and running it inside your ecosystem will tell you more about it — and whether it’s right for you and your specific use case — than reading a hundred probably-affiliate reviews.

(Will it take time and energy? Yes. More time and energy than rabbit holing your research and coming up still confused? Probably not.)

And if they ask for your card, just set an alarm to cancel the trial on Day 13.
