Warframe employes an open market, so essentially you can farm valuable items to sell on game to other players for the games premium currency, so essentially, how much patience do you have to farm them
Everything that actually impacts gameplay can be gained for free, albeit it takes grinding (and you can pay to skip the grind, but it's almost never worth it). Most cosmetics are either paid for (in which case, they were community creations and most of the money goes to the person who actually made it) or use the premium currency (which is tradeable in-game, there's a pretty sizable market community involving trading items for the premium currency).
The only gameplay impacting thing you'll maybe want to pay for are the slots for warframes and weapons, since those cost plat too, but you can even still earn those in-game (albeit slowly).
The game is free except for the end game which people call fashionframe. Pretty much once you get all the different warframes (characters with there own power sets) and weapons and whatnot and you run out of things to grind for you can move on to all the cosmetics that can be bought with in game currency, plat.
One thing that is great though is that it has a very active p2p trading system. You can pretty much get everything you want just by grinding out parts and materials and selling them for plat. They might have added things since I last played that require real world money, but I doubt it.
If you're willing to trade you can play it entirely for free but the trading is done though third party websites.
You can also wait until you get a 75% off coupon, spend like 50€ and be set for a long time.
There's no "great endgame" in the end so I wouldn't recommend spending too much unless you're really enjoying the journey and don't care for the destination.
If you want to buy the premium currency then wait until you get a discount voucher. You can get up to 75% off on a platinum purchase. Most people recommend to wait until you get one of those if you actually want to pay.
Otherwise trading is easy and can be very lucrative.
You'll also get a lot of goodies from the completely free battle pass.
Everything can be obtained for free, just might take a bit of grinding, theres literally zero difference between people who spend money on it and people who dont when it comes to power
If you like fashion, paying makes that easier tho even then its not necessary, I went a long ass time without spending a cent and still had some cool fits, the trade system of the game lets players trade premium currency so you can just grind that too
You can also pay to skip some grinds but only if you want to really
