Does the Amazon Prime free trial charge you automatically?

Yes. If you do not cancel before the trial ends, Amazon Prime is charged automatically (about $14.99/month (or $139/year)).

Can I cancel Amazon Prime right after signing up and keep the trial?

Usually yes — most services let you keep full trial access until the end date even after you cancel, so cancelling early is the safest move.
