Extremely naive question about JB apps.

Hi, folks. So this question is EXTREMELY ignorant and probably answers itself.... I just need to be SURE.

If I come across an app I'd like to install on Cydia or Installer, and in the apps description it doesn't say "free" NOR does it have a price, and it never prompts me to pay anything before installing, then installing is completely free, yes?

I know it may only make sense, but I'd hate to get an itunes receipt for $1,000 or something.

Cydia and Installer apps are generally free. Some apps are trials, and will ask you to pay if you want the full version. Cydia also has a store that has a few pay apps. However, Installer and Cydia are in no way connected with iTunes, and cannot tap into your iTunes payment account.

Hope this helps allay your fears.

Good answer - but using fancy dancy words will not necessarily get you allayed

Only use Cydia. Installer is very buggy and not recommended these days.
