Q: OSX El Capitan Free or Paid?

It’s free. If you’re looking at the correct item, the button will be Get, not Buy.

Hi Everyone,

 

... app store is asking for my password and i saw there is a greyed out BUY button before i enter my password.

 

Do i get charge if i click on BUY ?

No.

First, you'll see this

Then, you'll see this

Click "Buy".

Then, the El Capitan installer app will start downloading, and OS X El Capitan will also appear in your App Store's "Purchased" list:

Your account will be charged $0 for the purchase.

If you're having trouble finding the correct listing, try following this link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/os-x-el-capitan/id1018109117?mt=12.
