The "cost" of free bets is the Push 22 rule: when the dealer busts with exactly 22, all non-busted player hands push instead of winning. This adds approximately 0.83% to the house edge.
Despite the lower RTP, many players prefer Free Bet Blackjack for the excitement and additional action from free doubles and splits.
