"90 days before we ask for a credit card, then less than $40 per year after that. Try us for 3 months let us show you how to save time, money and hassle for less than the cost of a family meal per year"

The issue with most subscription web services is that people who foresee using it a couple of times a month end up not signing up. Which is all lost revenue. LastPass charges $1 per month.
