Is there a free version of AE?

Hello there, I'm curious about something regarding AE. As a keen user of various software and platforms, I often find myself exploring options to see if there's a cost-effective way to test out a product before committing to a paid version. So, my question is: Does AE offer a free version that I can try out before potentially upgrading to a paid subscription? It would be great to get a clear understanding of the features and capabilities available in the free tier, if such an option exists. Thank you for your time and consideration.
