If you sell a software product, what do think about offering a free trial period as an alternative (or addition) to a money-back guarantee? How long should a trial period last?

Would you offer both a trial period and a money-back guarantee? Or one only, both not both?

Here is one (negative) perspective on free trials from the creator of the Nomad List website:
