Onavo isn’t paid, it’s just a “free” VPN app. There’s no paid participation, you just download it.

Edit: Typo.
That doesn't mean that the MITM traffic interception would be enabled for regular users that have downloaded the app from the store. As stated both in the article and in the comments here, both "free" VPN and "paid market research" VPN used the same codebase. Is there any evidence (other than "facebook bad") that the MITM part was enabled for anyone other than consenting/getting paid participants?
