  You can’t install third party plugins (and themes) on the Free Plan. To do so you must upgrade to the Business Plan.

  Good Morning –

  The information shared is correct. On WordPress.com we offer a managed hosting environment and in order to use plugins that upgrade is required.

  Check out the full details of what that plan includes: https://wordpress.com/pricing/

  The free WordPress.org software will allow you to install plugins for free. With this WordPress option though, you don’t have support, and all the site details will fall to you. A hosting provider will also need to be paid with this scenario. Check out these few pages for more details. Write back to me with any other questions.
