costless
Without any expense
Costless means without cost or expense—free.
The word appears most often in economics and business contexts, where it describes theoretical scenarios: In the model, information is costless and instantly available.
In practice, costless often signals an idealized assumption rather than reality, since most things involve some cost, even if only time or effort.
