In that case, wouldn't a "free for personal use" license be sufficient? I know some software Oracle's VirtualBox, for example, implement something like this and it must work for them because they come down hard on supposed violators.

Just putting some kind of minor barrier in the way is enough to make paying the easier option, and it doesn't require any monitoring or enforcement.
