Our verdict

The usual first choice for students who want to run Ubuntu, Kali or a Windows test machine inside their current Windows PC. The base package is open source under GPLv3, and Oracle publishes SHA-256 checksums for every download. The optional Extension Pack is free only for personal and educational use. For smooth VMs, enable virtualisation (VT-x/AMD-V) in the BIOS and give the VM enough RAM.

FAQ

Is VirtualBox free for commercial use?

The base VirtualBox package is open source under GPLv3. The separate Extension Pack is under Oracle's Personal Use and Educational License, so businesses need a commercial licence for it.

VirtualBox or VMware Workstation Pro?

Both are free now. VirtualBox is open source and needs no account. VMware Workstation Pro often has better 3D and device support, but you need a free Broadcom account to download it.
