You can access the function block on the free account.

Go to the Blocks tab, scroll down to functions in the left sidebar, and drag the desired function block into the block editor.

The functions in your image do not return a value.

I wish the function blocks were reusable on other screens, but you can copy and paste them… but now you have to maintain the same function over multiple screens and possibly change out the component blocks if you’re using them in the functions.

I’ve found that the app vars have global scope across all screens, so if your function only uses vars, it may not be too bad.
