Hi - I am the engineer @ Kagi who works on billing things.

From my understanding (at least with the way we do trials at the moment), it will always say "and then X per month" even if the trial is to cancel at the of the period. I do not believe Stripe (our payment processor) has any options to change this behavior from their built-in checkout page that we use.

The options they do let us control (and options we do set) are if there is no payment method given during the trial - it will cancel it at the end of the trial. If a payment method is given during the trial, then Stripe will it set it to auto-renew by itself (and as far as I know, this is true for if a payment method exists beforehand).

Stripe does not let us control this like it does for no payment method, but we can do a simple workaround on our end to get around this. For what it is worth, there is a warning email is sent out 7 days before if it will renew.

As Vlad (freediver) mentions though, it is definitely not our intention to be misleading or anything like that. I hope that makes sense and clears things up.
