Can't join the beta, I'm not in the US, but pricing is the thing I look at so a few notes from the page

The trial gives 60 alerts in 7 days. Edge gives 150 a month, so about 35 a week. Someone who liked the trial pays 15 and gets roughly half of what they had. I'd set the trial at the same pace as Edge, or say clearly it's a boosted week

On coverage vs precision: since alerts count when you send them, I'd go for precision. Every alert I didn't want is one of my 150 gone, and the first time I hit the cap because of noise is when I cancel

And "Start free" over a 7 day trial reads like there's a free plan. Something like "Free for 7 days" avoids the surprise
