Leaflet is open source and free. However the examples on leaflet site use Mapbox to render map. Mapbox is more expensive than Google map (Mapbox pricing). The question is: can anyone use Leaflet really free?

Is there a fee for using it? Leaflet, unlike Google Maps and other all-in-one solutions, is just a JavaScript library. It's free to use, but doesn't provide map imagery on its own — you have to choose a tile service to combine with it.
Using the leaflet, we can render the map into an HTML element and we can set the marker on the map. Leaflet works efficiently across all major desktop and mobile platforms.
This library can be used to create maps, which are still available when you are offline and are fast when your connection is not. It works in the browser or can be used in an mobile app based on html and in progressive webapps.
You can use the Leaflet library for free, only the tileprovider used in the examples, Mapbox, asks money for serving tiles. You just need a free tileprovider like OpenStreetMap for instance:
var map = new L.Map('leaflet', {
center: [0, 0],
zoom: 0,
layers: [
new L.TileLayer('http://{s}.tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png', {
'attribution': 'Map data © <a href="http://openstreetmap.org">OpenStreetMap</a> contributors'
})
]
