Often, but not always, free things are worth exactly what you paid for them.
I was $600 into Nik modules before Google bought them and offered the entire suite for $120 before they went "freebie." (Google is definitely into the long game.) Unfortunately, I think by making it free and salting the market, the value of Nik got watered down considerably. Still use it regularly and find it quite valuable.
