Do you have to pay to read The Economist?

Excuse me, I'm just curious, is there a fee associated with accessing The Economist? I've heard great things about their analysis on economics and finance, but I'm not sure if it's accessible for free or if I need to make a payment to gain access to their content. Could you please clarify if there's a subscription required, or if there are any free trial options available? Thank you for your time.
