i want to obfuscate my code but also don't want to pay much for it cuz even paid obfuscators can be reverse engineered

Make it open source, then you won't need to obfuscate it and people can improve it

that wasnt the question

Better to not obfuscate at all than use a free and horrible "obfuscator", and believe there will be any difference.
So yes, it answers the question: The best free obfuscator is not to use any, as there will be no difference.

yeah open source paid/private hacked client is a good choice so people can speedrun cracking it who has better time at removing my protection

My point is, don't bother obfuscating with a free tool. You're just trying to give yourself the illusion that a free obfuscator will do the job done in protecting or adding some sort of protection layer while in reality it will get deobfuscated without big complications within some days after the JAR file starts running around.

if the client is paid it will be cracked eventually so it doesnt really matter and if its private just dont give it to people you dont trust

that only applies to skidded clients and insanely popular clients
