Yes, it's 100% free to post and reply to ads on Gumtree.

We can be completely free for users because advertisements and features (such as Top Ads) help us pay our bills.

We have recently introduced insertion fees in our Automotive Vehicles, Property, Jobs and Services categories. We felt that if you've got multiple ads at a time you're probably running a business. The fee is aimed at keeping Gumtree fair and providing lots of opportunities for private individuals.
