Q: Do i have to buy them?
Hi i was using Pages, Keynote and Garageband on my iPad mini. Now i tried to download them from my Macbook Air ( Mid-2012) but i taught i don't have to pay for them because they came free with my iPad and even i was using iMovie freely from my 5s too. So Do i have to buy them ?

The apps for your iOS device are not the same as the apps for your Mac. A Mac uses a different OS (OS X) which requires a completely separate development effort and a separate app. If you want them on your Mac, you must purchase them unless you purchased a 2014 model or later, then you can use this support article to see how you can get them downloaded:
