Marketing concept

A no-frills or no frills service or product is one for which the non-essential features have been removed to keep the price low.
The term frills originally refers to a style of fabric decoration.
Something offered to customers for no additional charge may be designated as a frill – for example, free drinks on airline journeys, or a radio installed in a rental car.
No-frills businesses operate on the principle that by removing luxurious additions, customers may be offered lower prices.
