It is free to download from Apple, but the licence only allows it for designing and building apps for Apple platforms. You can't use it for a logo, a website or print work.

Can I use SF Pro on my website?

Not by hosting the font yourself. Websites can ask for the visitor's system font, which shows SF Pro on Apple devices only. For the same look everywhere, use Inter.

What is the best free alternative to SF Pro?

Inter. It was made for screens, has very similar proportions, and is free under the SIL Open Font License.

Are these fonts free for commercial use?

Yes. Every font here is open-licence, so you can use it in logos, websites, products and client work. The licence is included in each download.
