Fast review, and the paid tier is a one-off rather than a subscription.
What you are getting
A followed link, in exchange for one of yours
The outbound link passes ranking signals, and placement is conditional on carrying their badge or a link back. That is a trade rather than a gift, and what your side of it costs depends on what your own page carries.
