umsonst und vergeblich können Synonyme sein = ohne Zweck / ohne die erwartete Wirkung.
Du hast dich umsonst/vergeblich bemüht.
Die ganze Arbeit war umsonst/vergeblich.
umsonst hat aber noch eine weitere Bedeutung: gratis / unentgeltlich
Nehmen Sie sich gern ein Stück Schokolade. Das ist umsonst.
Deine Sätze sind beide richtig.
"Es war alles umsonst" kann je nach Kontext bedeuten:
Es war alles vergeblich
oder
Es war alles kostenlos / unentgeltlich.

@birgit_bw Ist das richtig:
Ich versuchte, der Versuchung zu widerstehen, Kuchen zu essen, aber es war alles umsonst
Ich will sagen :
I tried to resist the temptation of eating cake but it was all in vain
