Is there a way to achieve something like this in Maya? (seconds 4:10 - 4:24)

I think this was added to 2018 - shift+move a face extrudes it.

Are there any for free?

This is what the script editor is for. 

Do those commands, then look in your script editor and copy the commands it did. Then paste them into a custom script in the hot key editor

Done.

2018 has shift-extrude on the move, rotate, and scale tools. 

You can also edit what shift-click does in the preferences. 

And as always, you can Ctrl+E to extrude and get the menu, as well as be able to move all selected faces in local axes.

My script does this with something called the "XsiDuplicate" command.

It basically replace the default "CTRL+D" (duplicate) command by one more aware of the current selection.
- On a object : duplicate the whole object
- On a face : extrude (and gives your the previous manipulator you were using)
- On an edge : extrude (same as above)
- On a vertex : quad extrude

The shortcut can be enabled in the second tab of the UI of the script.
