Is Hive free to use?

I understand that Hive is a platform for content creators and users to engage with each other and share their work. However, I'm curious about the cost structure of the platform. Could you clarify if Hive is free to use for both creators and users? Are there any hidden fees or charges that I should be aware of? Additionally, if there are paid features or upgrades available, could you provide an overview of what they entail and their associated costs? Thank you for your time and clarification on this matter.
