How do I avoid getting charged after subscribing free trial apps on App Store?

Why do so many apps offer ‘free trials’ that are really just traps to charge you later when they know most people will forget to cancel—shouldn’t that be considered deceptive?”

Before there was a free trial option, you had to pay to download the apps/use the service. With the free trial option it gives you the chance to try it out without having to pay. Would you rather pay to download an app/use the service and find that you do not like it? Remembering to cancel a free trial seems like a such as easy thing to do as opposed to paying for it first without the option to cancel it.
