Oracle's VM VirtualBox is a free virtualization app that does most of the things commercial virtualization apps like VMware Fusion, and Parallels Desktop can do. Like them, VirtualBox runs almost.
There is a free player for vmware on windows, is there a free version as well for mac? If not, any other free alternatives?

Already asked at superuser (Credits to the OP). I post the answer here again - slightly modified:
There is no version of VMware Player for OS X. Instead, VMware sells a Mac version of their product called VMware Fusion. You may use it as trial version 30 days for free
If you don't want to purchase VMware Fusion, you can:
- Use Boot Camp to some other OS. The OS itself should run fine.
- Use Boot Camp and run vmplayer from the other OS. (Untested since I do not have a OS/X host)
- Use VirtualBox. VirtualBox can use virtual hard disks in VMware's VMDK format (like so).
There is also Parallels Desktop for Mac. Years ago I just received a license as a developer, and until now I did not find in any other hypervisor such an integration
There Is Wine Or Playonmac There Are Free Like Virtualbox
