codespace looks interesting but without a trial or even at least a video that showcases the app, I will not spend the money. It's sad because I know how much good software costs and I am totally willing to pay but I won't buy without at least getting a feel for the software.

Totally get you, I also find it more convincing to have at least a trial or money back guarantee
