Is metaverse land free?

Excuse me, I've been hearing a lot about the concept of metaverse land recently. I'm curious, is metaverse land actually free to acquire or own? I understand that it's a digital space, but does that mean it's freely accessible to everyone without any cost involved? Or are there specific platforms or projects where metaverse land is available for free, while others may require some form of payment? It would be great if you could clarify this for me.
