Credit card companies offer many incentives to choose their card over another card. One way they try to do this is to lower or eliminate fees, as in no annual fee credit cards.  An annual fee is basically a service charge the credit card company makes to a person's credit card every year. It is like the credit card company charging the person for using their card.  So no annual fee credit cards basically offer a person a free credit card.
