I have no problem paying €4 or even €40. Problem is that I don't know when I can be locked out of an app due to Apple or Google policies. Not the fault of the creator(s), obviously.
That, and as another commenter pointed out: network effects. I'll pay alright, no worries. But how I even test the thing if none of my people are there?
And why no free trial? I'd evaluate the messenger in maximum 30 minutes.
The free trial is just asking the App Store for a refund. I did it twice so far when i bought an App wich sounded good but then didnt do what i wanted. I think you have 48 hours time for this.
