The cynicism here is crazy. You can get a lot done in 6 months and prices will probably have dropped by then due to competition. There's no lock-in keeping you from switching coding agents if you're not stupid about it.

There's nothing wrong with taking advantage of limited offers.

The cynics are in the AI companies who want to get rich by making everyone unemployed and sloppifying the Internet after stealing the entire human IP.

		It's a dark pattern that you can take advantage of by setting a calendar reminder and having enough initiative to act on it.

Most people are sick of free trial scams, its incredibly pervasive. Its only a gift if there is no automated renewal, a scummy ad otherwise

		But the application form isn't asking for credit card info. (Does anyone know whether they ask for that later in the approval process?) In any case, the fine print says that participants have to purchase after the expiration of the free period in order to to continue. Nothing is mentioned about having to give payment info upfront, such that the account automatically transitions to payment. Participants who are already paying customers will have their payments suspended for that period, so I think for them it will automatically lapse back to paid, at least if their payment method is up-to-date.
