It´s funny that web.de is also on board. If you have a look at the business model of web.de, they are always trying to get they users automatically locked into an overpriced subscription model after the free trial period ends.

Is that better than worse than the Google model?

what do you mean by the google model?

You 'pay' through your private emails being scanned, analysed and the advertised to. With Web.de you pay a subscription fee.

yes, you pay a subscription fee, but this does not automatically mean that you are getting scanned.

I am hove no problem with subscription fees. I have a problem within companies who try to push they clients into subscription through some kind of free trials which then get automatically converted into yearly contract.
