The trial version is fully functional, but it will show a notification that it is a trial version every time you will launch the Safari Profile with one of the exported helper applications.

Can I use the helper applications as browsers?

Unfortunately, no. The helper applications are just a launcher for Safari with a specific profile. You cannot ask them to open a specific URL. You can try OpenIn application for that.
