FredoScale is a plugin developed by Fredo6 that significantly expands SketchUp’s native transformation abilities. While SketchUp’s default Scale tool is mostly uniform, FredoScale allows you to freely manipulate geometry in numerous advanced ways. The plugin was originally named before being renamed to FredoScale starting with version 2.0.
If your primary reason for using FredoScale is to bend components along a curve, is an exceptional free alternative.
Blender is the most powerful free alternative, offering lattice deformation, simple deform modifiers (bend, twist, taper), and full mesh editing capabilities. However, it requires learning an entirely different software ecosystem and transferring models between programs — which may disrupt your workflow.

Developed by ThomThom, TrueBend is a highly intuitive, free plugin designed specifically for bending objects. It allows you to select a group and bend it by a precise radius or angle while keeping the geometry cleanly subdivided. It is fast, lightweight, and completely free. 4.

If you are absolutely constrained by budget, you can use the trial version to finish a specific project. However, for professional or regular use, the low cost of the is considered a standard investment in the SketchUp community.
