Free Software

Free Softwares are free of cost available Softwares. That you can download freely and use them without paying any amount. Free Software means the user is allowed to run and can redistribute freely and sometimes modify accordingly.  Example of GIMP, HitFilm, etc.

Paid Software

Some paid Softwares are also available for free trials to continue to use one has to pay for it. Example- Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere Pro, etc.

Open Source Software

Open Source Softwares are Softwares of those source code is available to all. Open Source Softwares means the user is allowed to modify freely and can redistribute. But the confusion is that Free Softwares and Open Source Softwares are same. 

NO both are different. Free Softwares are free of cost and it is not necessary Source Code is available but Open Source Softwares can be Free or Paid but Source code will be available in both cases.

For example - Android- It is an Open Source Software and a Free Software But Google makes money by charging some licensing fee. But as it's Source Code is available after paying the phone manufacturer can modify it accordingly.
