It may be the app is free but there is a subscription to use it that costs money.
Please click on this link to learn "How to cancel a subscription from Apple" --> https://support.apple.com/HT202039
Note:
• "If you don’t see Cancel Subscription, then the subscription is already canceled and won't renew." An "Expires" date (instead of "Renews") means the current subscription will just run until then. "Resubscribe" is just in case you change your mind about having it end.
• Deleting an app does not cancel a subscription.
• If you don’t cancel trials more than 24 hours before your renewal date, your subscription might renew.
• If you don't have an Apple device, see the options near the very bottom of the support document.
