FreeBSD is free, and any updates are free. Third party applications may 
or may not be free depending on the license terms and the intended 
usage. This is no different than for any other operating system.

There is only one operating system (AFAIK) that claims a definite level 
of security: OpenBSD claims to be "secure by default" and shows an 
impresive track record. This is defined as there are no known remote 
exploits in the most resent version in the default instalation. However, 
any change to the default configuration or installation of third party 
applications may change that.

Really, there is no common or objective scale for comparing the security 
of different systems. Regardless of any claims, all liability is disclaimed.
