The website has some lower resolution demo rides that you can just play (no account required) and a trial (account required) of the full app.
I tried zwift twice, went to FulGaz and never looked back.

No, my trainer's strictly dumb.
I watched a GCN video on Zwift, showing both cheap and probably ungodly expensive ways of doing it. The cheap one, I can manage, I think - I just need an ant+ dongle and a USB extension cable. The expensive one had not only a smart, wheel-off trainer, but also had a device for the FRONT that would raise or lower it to match the grade you're riding in the video. If I had extra money and extra room, I could see doing that.
