TL;DR

Entry to the White Buddha in Nha Trang is free, but watch out for scammers posing as temple guides who demand money after showing you how to pray.

What the community said

Admission to the White Buddha is free. However, be aware of a common scam: after buying incense sticks at the entrance, a person posing as a temple attendant may approach you, offer to show you how to bow and perform the ritual for free, and then aggressively demand money afterward. It's best to avoid engaging with such 'helpers'.

The White Buddha has free entry. Note that Old Village (Làng Cổ) is often listed as free online, but in practice charges an entrance fee — so check current info before visiting.

Avoid buying anything from street vendors near the White Buddha entrance, as this can attract unwanted attention from people who will then pressure you for money after offering unsolicited help with the ritual.
