You will always have to pay the ICANN registrar fees if you want to register a domain on a top-level domain (TLD), especially a premium one like .dev. The cheapest prices you'll find would be at gandi.net (market rate, but they're the oldest and most reputable domain name registrar.)

Otherwise, if you don't mind settling for a subdomain, e.g. yourwebsite.ddns.net (where ddns.net is a domain you don't own), check out noip.com

Yep, unfortunately, there's no other way to get one. :( Thankfully, domains aren't terribly expensive in general. Most .dev domains are about $17 a year. Hope you can get the one you want!

SSL doesn't cost extra. Let's Encrypt provides that on any domain you own for free.
