Which PDF/A should I choose?

PDF/A-2b, unless the portal asks for a specific one.

Is it really free?

Yes — PDF/A conversion is completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit.

Can I convert PDF to PDF/A on my phone?

Yes. It works in the browser on Android phones, iPhones, tablets and computers. Nothing to install. It works best in Google Chrome.
