Hi
Is ESXi 6 free? or is there a free version of it? I believe in the past previous versions used to be.
Thanks.
You may evaluate it for 60 days.

What is the difference between vSphere hypervisor and ESXi?
We are a small business and I would be using this to host a Windows 2012 R2 and a two or 3 windows 7 machines. Cost is critical.
please refer following KB
VMware KB: Product offerings for vSphere 6.x
this will let you see difference between free hypervisor and licensed vSphere editions.
in vSphere 6 also, free hypervisor is there like previous versions.
As pointed in KB in last comment, you will get the difference. I would like to specify that 60 days evaluation gives you enterprise plus license features.
vSphere is VIrtualization Suite that includes ESXi and It's features. ESXi is an OS that offers Virtualization Layer a.k.a Hypervisor.
You have a free Trial with full ESXi features for 60 days, after that you need to license the host.
