And will it be for free or paid?

I have yet to witness any OS offered totally free to Apple users (with the exception of Macs purchased prior a short, defined time interval to the introduction of the OS). Expect to part with some money.

Mavericks is not an update - it is a new OS and therefore an upgrade.
