Answers.Text: @KarinG Yes, in CiviCRM it would just be a text field, but on the webform you could make it appear as select-or-other. It would store the option selected (or the other value) from the webform.

Answers.Text: Yes - you can't get civicrm pricesets to display in webform - but you can make your own - calculate your own pricing [and your FREE options don't need to be a price_set] - there are still some limitations into turning webform_civicrm in a complete shopping cart

  The way to achieve this natively in CiviCRM without writing any code is to create a second text field in which the user can enter their "other" value.
  
  If you want to further improve the UX you can write a little jQuery which will hide the extra field unless the "other" option is selected.
