Do I need to print and scan?

No. Printing, signing on paper and scanning back is slow and lowers quality. Signing digitally in PDF42 keeps the document sharp and is accepted for most everyday forms and agreements.

Is it really free?

Yes — reading and signing are free. PDF42 only asks you to refill a daily save quota with a quick rewarded action, or go Pro to remove that entirely. You're never paywalled before you read or sign.
