freebie

No-cost bonus

A freebie is something given away at no cost—a promotional item, complimentary sample, or bonus: The conference booth was handing out freebies.

The word suggests something small or incidental rather than a major gift, often with a slightly dismissive tone: Don't expect any freebies around here.
