I need someone to talk to online but everything costs money

I searched for someone to talk to online free and kept hitting paywalls, chatbots, or apps that want a credit card before you can say anything real. I'm not in crisis — I just need a human conversation with someone who gets it. Therapy isn't an option right now. Has anyone found a place to talk anonymously without paying? I mostly want to read first and maybe share later when it feels safe.
