The important detail is whether you're running both in real time, all
the time. There is a possibility of conflict in that case, though it
is not a given. But if you run the free version of antimalware
software such as SuperAntiSpyware or Malwarebytes in conjunction with
a standard realtime product, there won't be an issue, because the free
versions do not constantly run in the background. They only run when
you launch them.
Even so, I routinely recommend to my customers that they purchase a
pro version of antimalware software and run it in realtime in
conjunction with their standard antivirus software. The risk of
conflicts is usually so low as to not be an issue at all. AV products
have come a long ways from the 1990s.
