zero cost
Completely without expense
Zero cost describes something that requires no payment or expenditure: The app is available at zero cost.
In economics and business, zero cost often refers to marginal cost—the expense of producing one additional unit—rather than total investment: Once the software is built, distribution is essentially zero cost.
The phrase sometimes appears hyphenated as a modifier: a zero-cost solution.
