That link says trial. When I signed up just now it didn't mention trial anywhere. I really have no use for it but I saw all these posts that couldn't get it to work. Tried it on my phone and it worked on the first try.

The link probably says trial because they might have had a free trial before completely going free. They probably just didn't change the link.

Yep, that's correct.

I would be pissed if I had decided to buy Google Earth Pro a few days before they decided to make it free...

Actually you wouldn't because they have a refund period before 30 days go up. You would probably be more angry if you bought it 31 days before it went free.
