When companies offer a free ISBN, they almost invariably are allowing you to use an ISBN from their allocation. This means that the publisher of record will be that company, not yourself.

If you ever decide to publish the book through a different company, the ISBN will have to change. It does not belong to you, but to the service provider you're using.
