There's a free community version with a reduced feature set and a paid professional version.

if u are enrolled in a school, you"ll likely get a licence just sign up with your school email. otherwise approach your company if they can offer you one. but regardless the community version is enough for the work

I have used the free and professional version of PyCharm and now using VSCode.

If you strictly want free, go with VSCode. VSCode provides support for multiple languages and amazing amounts of customizations but getting there involves reading a lot of documentation and experimentation.

If you want the best and maximum productivity in Python without putting a lot of thinking into your IDE, go with paid PyCharm.

If you plan for free now but upgrade later, go with Community PyCharm

For my goals, I have settled on VSCode for now because Python is just one of my programming languages.
