No — Zoom Events and Webinars is not fully free.
There is a free basic version of Zoom, but webinars are generally a paid feature that requires a specific webinar license or add-on. The free plan mainly supports regular meetings, not full webinar hosting.
So in short: you can join webinars for free if invited, but hosting or running them requires a paid plan.
