Can I start out filing on the free version, and then switch to I paid for, or assisted version at the end if I can afford to do so?

Yes. You should be allowed to start with the free version. As you work on the return and add more complicated tax situations, the software will ask you to upgrade and will tell you the price for the version you need. You will pay at the end of the tax preparation.
