I just don't trust that one because of the "fine print" on their TV commercial (free report is based upon subscription to ..... )

Maybe they changed, but I used it and never got charged or never got billed for anything. One shot deal and never heard from them again pretty much.

They sign you up for a credit monitoring service with a "30 day free trial" (or at least they used to). So, yes, if you cancel, no charge, but if you forget...
