There's is at the moment no free edition of SQL Server that offers SSIS.
As others has pointed out, you can buy the Developer Edition. Which is also included in MSDN subscriptions, which can be somewhat expensive. A more economical alternative is the Technet subscriptions, which includes the standard/enterprise editions.

Your best option is get the Developer edition (which costs approximately $50) and its exactly like the Enterprise one, except that you cant use it on production enviroments
