Actually not necessarily true. What makes something free seems to be the initial cost is paid and you receive it not at the stated cost. But to receive something whether free or not nearly always cost you
something whether it be time, energy, or effort.
Think of a soup kitchen offering free food. Is the food no longer free because someone had to actually walk to the place? Or is it no longer free because someone had to wait in line? Time, effort, energy are all things we use to sometimes measure the cost of something. But if someone gives us something that initially cost money to acquire it we will still consider it a free gift even if it cost time, energy, or effort to receive it.
So cost and free are subjective terms. And it depends on what is the subject matter when determining if something is free or if there's a cost.
